hey you "tubbies", I mean "tubbers": Anybody see vocl news today? If China is worth $400 mil in cap to vocl, what is Phillippines worth to little ole LKON and friends???????????????? Mr. Wombat, as you know I'm no math major, so help me out here... According the the latest United Nations United Nations Population Division - Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the population of China is 1,255,698,000. In math, that's called a "big number." The population of the Phillipines is 72,944,000. So, if China is worth $400 million in revenues then 72,944,000 times $400,000,000 divided by that "big number" = $23,236,160 and 28 cents. So that's what the Phillipines contract should be worth to LKON, give or take 28 cents. Hope that helps. Chris BTW, my Big Bird Sesame Street calculator started sparking when I entered that "big number". It gets testy when you use a number with more than three digits<g>
