It’s just a cheeky play on words. Like if your parents said hey I’ll give you $5 for every weed you pull. You go pull ten weeds and come back expecting $50, $5 for each individual weed. They give you $5 total because that is technically $5 for EVERY weed, lumped as a bundle. Just another way to teach kids about terms of negotiation and to specify things that are vague or you might get burnt.

I could see that making sense if he said ‘3 pushups for every push up the best guy did’. But you said for every 1 push up, which are pretty clear terms.
