Board 8 > You're on an airplane and you have a stuffy nose

(+) Yeah! (+)

The flight attendant offers to sell you a napkin for $1
There are no bathrooms

Assume the utility of blowing your nose is worth $5 to you

What do you do?

Buy it, obviously. I make a profit of $4 in utility terms.

After a long awkward pause during which I checked if I was dreaming, I said blow my nose into a $5 (well, 5 pound note) and attempt to clean it when I land
I think he actually said she was selling it for $5 and the utility was $10
for a profit of 10 pounds instead of 5 and also for the spite!

Question #2 to come...

--

Clearly I have tissues or napkins in my pocket, so I use them.

If not, surely a friend I'm traveling with has some. And if not, perhaps another passenger.

If not, I use a piece of my shirt, because free is better.

If I'm wearing a fancy suit on my way to an important meeting and thus can't or shouldn't use my clothes, I ask for my complementary drink. On airplanes, those usually come free with napkins, so why buy a napkin when you are entitled to one with your free beverage?

If I am dealing with a stewardess who even at this point refuses to give me my napkin, then I would most likely pay the $1, because the only other option I can think of is taking down her name and reporting her to the proper authorities, which would take far too much time to be worth the dollar, and I don't particularly care that much about ruining her day either - it just isn't worth it. Time is money.

If I'm sitting next to a prospective employer at an economics firm and he disagrees with any of my above logic (and, mind you, has refused to gift me a tissue of his own), I use him.

Would the disgust that your fellow passengers have for you be worth $1 though?

If not, surely a friend I'm traveling with has some. And if not, perhaps another passenger.

similarly, I'm unsure if I would ask around just to save a dollar

Not that I would ever buy it, because my pride is worth far more to me than $5

QUESTION #2:

You're given a barometer. What are three ways for you to find the height of a building using it.

--

http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/special-sauce-is-my-friend.jpg

Drop it from the top of the building and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then do the 9.8m/s equation to figure out how far the barometer had to fall.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Use the air pressure differences at the top and bottom of the building to find the height difference.

Or trade the barometer to the building manager in exchange for him telling you the height of the building.

Congrats to 2011 Guru champ SuperNiceDog!

Get the height of the barometer, put the barometer next to the building, and draw an imaginary line (use something that won't leave a mark, don't want to get arrested for vandalism) at on the building on top of the barometer. Move the barometer up with the bottom of it being at the line you drew, and draw another imaginary line. Repeat until you know how many barometer heights the building is, and multiple that by whatever units of measure you want to use. For example, this could go for 2,722.57 feet.

Tell her you will loudly complain about the high price of the napkin and that the complaining would produce more than 1 dollar's worth of profit loss for the airline company so she better lower the price to 0.

For the first, I just blow my nose into my money. Don't even bother to clean it. Money is money as long as it's intact. The value is still there.

Use the $5 bill you apparently have to blow your nose.

I buy the napkin, use half of it to blow my nose, then sell the other half to another passenger for the discounted rate of 2$, thus earning a profit of 6$.
