Problem with Poll is, if you spend 100,000 cash, you will get 3 donuts.

What it means is that you only spend $100k if your first selection is one donut, then your second selection is 2 donuts

I guess I just dont see how the 1st selection and 4th selection are different.

Please, if anyone else sees my confusion, let me know.
