<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3150254, member: 84744&quot;]Maybe the problem is the y-intercept.&nbsp; That first dollar is worth a lot... it&#039;s an ancient coin vs... it&#039;s nothing!&nbsp; A $100 coin shouldn&#039;t have to multiply that first dollar&#039;s worth of coinjoyment by a hundred times.&nbsp; Maybe if we defined the bargain value of a $1 slug to be zero it would work; but I still think there would be a problem, because the improvement in coinjoyment is similarly unbalanced for the difference between a $1 slug and a $10 coin, and a $100 coin shouldn&#039;t have to multiply that by 10.&nbsp; Does that make sense?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But my (1b) takes care of that case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can go with that...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>... but I can&#039;t follow all the way.
