I like to figure out the cost of things - not in money but in time spent or people hours. For example, during my classes I would take the number of class hours, multiply by the number of students, divide by 24 and arrive at how many days were being being wasted for all the people in the room.
Tonight I took the formula to new heights:
8 million people who have subscribed to 'World of War Craft'
x
40 hours of game play ( this is probably a very low average)
= 320 000 000 hours spent playing the game.
320 000 000 hours/ 24= 13333333 days
13333333 days/365= 36529 years
That's crazy.

I did some interesting math of my own...
We pay $1500 in tuition to do our practicum placements. This includes teaching for 9 weeks. That's $23.81 per day that we PAY to teach. (of course you pay more for going to Ontario) If we were subtract exam week, the 2 snow days we had, and one Professional Development day we've had here in Nova Scotia, it actually is more like $26.79 per day.
When we're driving in our car pool, sometimes someone starts saying "Well, another day, another..." - now I can pipe up with "Another day, another $26.79."
