For those of you who have been following the Dave X Change Challenge, we have a long overdue update. (And for those of you who haven’t, this is all about a contest between one homeless man – Dave X – and the entire staff of nine people in my office, to see who can find the most money on the streets of Ottawa in 2006. Here’s a bit of background.)
[Note: Sept. 10/06 – Hmmm. The WordPress upgrade has rendered my flash charts unreadable in every Dave X update post. I’ll try to fix it, but in the meantime, here are the most recent numbers: Dave X has $167.12 and Zoom! & Co has $23.85.]
As you can see, Dave X continues to maintain a commanding lead over Zoom & Co. However, math being the quirky thing it is, you might also have noticed that in terms of percentage increases since June, Zoom & Co left Dave X in the dust. Speaking of quirky math, have you seen THIS?

I watched all of these LOOK AROUND YOU shorts, and now I understand sulphur, ghosts, iron, water, AND maths.
Wow! Dave is still going strong! You can find a lot of money on the streets apparently, when you know where to look
I love the link! Thanks for that.
Nik, the Look Around You short on Maths was, ummm, odd. I’ll watch the ghosts one too, but I’m not sure I want to learn much more about sulphur.
Dakota, I think Dave’s success in finding money is partly a function of knowing where to look and partly a function of having nothing else to do BUT look. 😉
Glad that you liked it Nik 😀
