a question of stats
So, I'm keeping track of my free-Coke winning stats, right? Well I cashed in one of my free Cokes today, and scored another free Coke off that one (woo!).
Question is, how do I count this in my little sidebar thing? Does it bump up the count to 3 from 11? If any bored high-school maths students are reading, feel free to justify years of study by answering. I'd work it out myself, but I conveniently forgot all that stuff the minute I graduated.

Well, each bottle is a discrete individual event, so yes - I'd got 3 from 11 if I was you.
Then again, I'm not you and I've won nothing.

Unless you were counting free cokes from purchased cokes, 3 from 11 would be correct.
And if you were only counting the purchased cokes, you should not have even looked under the cap of the one secured with your winning cap.
If that makes sense, and Im sure it does :)

I agree with matt, 3 from 11 is correct as each bottle is a separate delicious event

I'd just like to expose matt for the lyer he is, he has won a free coke, or to be more correct, i won a free coke and he nicked the lid when i was in his flat! but never fear revenge wil one day be taken....
