Nov 3, 2014 at 9:07 comment added Chris @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft: Yeah, that's roughly what I was thinking with woolly maths. Trying to do simultaneous equations were each variable is in a range of possibles was too much for my poor head. :)
Nov 2, 2014 at 5:35 comment added BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft @Chris What you're saying would only be true if windows were worth $1. Since they're worth much more than that, it could easily be the case that Cosmetics vs. Suits could require the same number of windows to push them over $50k with one pair of other stores, but with a different pair they each require a different number of windows. In fact, as far as I can tell, these numbers are consistent, and imply Car > Jewelry > Pear > Cosmetics > Suits.

Jan 24, 2014 at 9:28 comment added Chris Cool. My only point was that I was trying to treat them as simultaneous equations to work things out precisely to try to take your data and order things and that way lay madness. I may try some more woolly maths to order them but that's harder to do in my head. ;-)
Jan 24, 2014 at 1:42 comment added Steve V. @Chris It's most definitely not rigorous, but it's not a total crapshoot either. I made sure to throw the grenade in the same place in the store each time and if an area of the store didn't get destroyed, I discarded that data.
Jan 24, 2014 at 0:09 comment added Chris Its a good table though I notice it isn't mathemtically rigorous. Presumably because sometimes you destroyed more of a store than others... In particular I note Suits and cosmetics - when with Jewelry and Pair both needed 6 more windows. When with Car and Pair one needed 2 and the other 3. This suggests that they were destroyed a different amount each time. Still useful findings though. Just that the maths on them is inconsistent leaving it only ever as a loose ordering. Very useful to know though. :)
