This is a clip from our university paper about wiperblades. It caused a double take for me and a bit of confusion

whats there to be confused about? its simple math....

it means 84% of consumers who buy two blades for a triple blade car do buy a third blade.

they left out the part we're you're supposed to assume that more than 1% of americans are dumbasses - this coming from one

I'm gonna have to go ahead an assume they are talking about vehicles with a third one for the rear window wiper. That statement is probably true because in my body shop, I can't tell you how many scratched rear windows I've seen due to the idiot not ever replacing it.

Funny nonetheless if you dont stop and think about it.

From a quick read, it says to me that 16% of the people who buy 2 blades, for a car that needs 3 blades.....do not buy the third blade. Yes the third blade would be for the rear window.

But im pretty sure that if you buy 2 blades...then there is a 100% chance you didnt purchase 3...not 16%.....but again..thats reading it at face value.
