    @susanorlean Even odds. There is never enough gas.

    @susanorlean missing information: how many cars are low on gas? If the answer is 3, then odds are 100% ;-)

    @susanorlean almost 100% - c.f. Tragedy of the Commons - someone else will always fill it up, so all tend towards empty

    @susanorlean well if your facts are correct the odds are 3/3 or 100%.

    @susanorlean quite possible but depends on the personality of the other 2 adults

    @susanorlean In my house, the odds of low gas are nearly 100%. One of life's ugly truths.

    @susanorlean i(Sum)iofj=(People(Cars)i*Fuel Efficiency*Income)/(Sqrt(1^2)-i) Where i of j to n is the iterative dickishness of the people

      @ehrensw Love the term "dickishness". May I borrow?

      • ehrensw - Twitter ehrensw  30  February 9, 2010  Reply

        @susanorlean of course. I'm sure I borrowed it from someone. And 1 should be i, because you needn't square one.
