Fred, <This is really embarrassing but since you insist: One number can not be 4 times smaller than another.> ??????????????????????????? You must be an idiot, sorry. Proof: <4 times smaller is 400% smaller. A number that is 1/4 of another number is .75 times smaller or 3/4 times smaller or 75% smaller. Let use an example. I'll keep the numbers small so as not to confuse you. Lets take 10 and 40. 10 is 1/4 of 40 10 is also [(40-10)/40]= 3/4 times smaller or 75% smaller I hope that you now understand that one price can never be more than 100% smaller than another another price.> Go away. We have nothing more to talk about.
