That's what I thought. 100kph is 62mph

A little common sense.

Car A goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Car B goes from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds.

Car A gets onto the highway, gets to 60, accelerates and begins to cruise at 70 mph.

Car B gets onto the highway, gets to 60, accelerates and begins to cruise at 70 mph.

Both cars drive for 8 miles and take the same exit heading to the Ikea. So what was gained here?

some more common sense:

person A buys food from the grocery store, and has dinner for $3

person B goes out to a fancy steakhouse and has dinner for $500

both people were fed

what was gained by going to the fancy steakhouse?


person A buys a jacket from Target for $50

person B buys a fur coat from somewhere for $5000

both people are warm

what was gained by buying the fur coat?


person A lives in a tiny house
person B lives in a mansion

both people have a roof over their head

what is gained by living in a mansion?


person A buys a case of Coors Light

person B buys a bottle of Dom Perignon

both people are getting drunk

what is gained by drinking Dom Perignon?
