Re: OT : A psychosocial question
Hmmm...up here, we don't get a 21.4% refund rate for aluminum cans.

Re: OT : A psychosocial question
Really? A bunch of empty aluminum cans from $1000 worth of beer 1 year ago is worth $1214 today? That's hard to believe. By "earn" $214 do you mean a gain of $214 above the original $1000, or do you mean it is $214 total?

Re: OT : A psychosocial question
Aluminum is up over a year ago, but your right, those numbers are inflated as only a mathmatician could do. See my point? There's only one way I know to prove / disprove this. Anyone up to trying it?

Re: OT : A psychosocial question
Xrati phrased that badly. The point is not that you "earn" $214, it's that you have more money left after investing in the beer than in the stocks. The experiences you had while drinking the beer are supposedly a bonus on top of that.

Re: OT : A psychosocial question
capnq is right.
...and please don't confuse mathematicians with the advertisers and politicians who distort their statistics.

Re: OT : A psychosocial question
I didn't say 'Prove mathematicians'.
