Hey Gang,

 

As I consider adding another carburetted Ferrari to my scuderia, I find myself considering the mathematics of the situation - with a startling realization. I ask myself; Are two carburetted cars twice the trouble, or is the trouble exponential?! Here's the rationalization:

 

Using the Clyde lexicon,

 

If linear, then: 1 s#!tbox + 1 s#!tbox = 2 s#!tboxes

 

However,

 

If exponential, then: 1 s#!tbox ^ 2 = 1 s#!tbox

 

So math and logic dictate that owning two carburetted cars have a Clyde s#!tbox rating no greater than owning just one! Bonus! I am convinced!
