Proof that rich people are idiots

created by GoodKingNerdnor

We know that Power is Work divided by Time:

    P = W/T


And we know that Knowledge equals Power, and Time equals Money:

    K = P , T = $


So, Knowledge equals Work divided by Money:

    K = W/$


And Money equals Work divided by Knowledge:

    $ = W/K


So, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity:

    K → 0 , $ → ∞.


Thus proving, that one with infinitesimally small amounts of grey matter has way too much cash.
