Yousef, I thank you for demonstration of your analytical skills and accuracy: "1) Two men buy apple trees for same price ($xxx)" Should'n you continue to say that "Little Man" bought 2 trees, and "Big man" bought 13? Makes a bit of difference, don't you think? intel.com "2) "Little Man's" tree produces 5 ... "Big Man's" produces 50. 3) Market only needs 40 apples" 40 apples is about right. However, a little correction is in order. The "Little Man" makes and sells 8 apples and says that market does not buy any more, and "Big Man" cannot produce even 32 apples claiming an unsatisfied demand for good big apples... "4) Guess who makes money (recovers cost of tree + profit)" Profits? Concerning the cost of trees see above #1, and about "profits, do you mean "formal profits"? Surely the stock option bonuses do not count, eh? Of course, those 4 BILLION $dollars$ per year in unaccounted salary compensations are not a formal salary, but weren't people working with these bonuses in mind, and would walk away if there were none promised? "5) Guess who loses money (Has "air supply" cutoff <ggg>)" Have not heard anything about shortages of air supply or electricity in Austin or Dresden so far... I'll leave it for your homework to calculate average yields per tree and other useful characteristics. - Ali P.S. A teaching career is obviously not for you either. But thanks for your "lesson" anyway <ggg>
