#1 Ah. Another seriously math-challenged reporter.

"Let's see... if 10000 rupees is $320, then 100 rupees must be...carry the 6, take the cosine... 24 dollars!"

#2 Another great Indian tourist promotional activity (like their differing fees for entry to the Taj Mahal)

1 US dollar == 43.8 Indian Rupees
So the fine is $ 2.28

#3 john - No kidding, to get in the Taj costs ~$20 US for foreigners, about 50 cents for Indians. One of the native Indians I was with got hassled by the guards 'cuz they thought he was Pakistani. He was really from deep south India and sounded "funny" to them.
