Granadilla?
I haven't quite worked out a solution yet though, so I guess it's probably wrong.

I must admit, that was my thought earlier on but it doesn't tie in with the letter count. (Also the stone is granite)

So it wasn't just me, it did actually say 10 to start with?
I considered pomegranate too, but quickly discarded it due too count of letters. Perhaps if I had tried to work out the solution to it then it would have led me to question your counting.
Oh well, it's all for fun so it doesn't matter

[PinocchioMode] No, no - it was 11 all time ... [/PinocchioMode]

It's just a typical capitalist ploy.
USB hubs were being produced for next to nothing and sold really cheap, and the marketing/sales morons couldn't do anything about it.
Then came USB 3, which gave them a chance to pretend that it was a new product -- one that had a captive market, because no-one would want USB 2 hubs, any more.
So now USB 3 hubs are being produced for next to nothing and sold with immense profit margins, and we customers suckers can't do a damned thing about it.
It's capitalism; the American way. Be proud that you're part of it.

And there was me thinking the Dutch invented capitalism, after all, VoC shares were sold to the public in what what is, 1640 or some such?
|
|
|
|
|
The Dutch invented the stock market.
WTF has that invention got to do with capitalism?
Consult a dictionary, not wikipedia.
