    So…? Do you measure each piece of cake with a caliper…?

      There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that’s 2.437 days off the average. That’s nearly 10% of a month.

      And yes if you are selling pieces of cake they should be the same size.

        You’re buying a whole cake and returning the sections you didn’t use. You’re cutting your own pieces…. It’s only your own fault if they aren’t perfectly identical.

        Also, every 4th feb has an extra day, so your math isn’t even correct anyways. Nice attempt.

          You’re not returning anything if you pay per month and one month is shorter. Nice attempt.

          Also, I said your average February not average number of days in February. Your average February has 28 days while your average number of days in February has obviously 1/28th more days. Just like your average person has two hands, it’s based on the average of the buckets not the average in the buckets.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

          The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3.

            Why are you using mode instead of the standard average? You link averages, than quote a part from “mode” instead of the standard average.

            Do you think that defends your point? That you’re intentionally using an obscure definition instead of the standard?

            Also, sleazy as shit you edit your comments with different information after the fact.

            Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

              Oh yeah it’s so sleazy to simply point out how you have no idea what you’re talking about. I didn’t even edit what my comment said, I simply added a link and quote to a wiki page.

              How dare I add facts that show you don’t know what you’re talking about. 😂

                So you don’t have any examples of things that are paid for monthly…?

                What a fucking shocker…. Every comment avoids defending their point and argues with goalpost moving…

            Most of those pay by month are year leases, so yeah you’re agreeing to pay for the year, averaged

            The returning was using an example to support my argument.

            The average person doesn’t have two hands… that’s a completely false statement.

            No one has 3 hands to bring the average back up, and by saying the average is 2, you are claiming no one has 1 or zero hands. Thats clearly false, so the average can’t be 2…

            Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?

              We’ve already discussed how there are monthly expenses not on a lease.

              The average person does have two hands, if you test it you’ll see they do, it’s the wonders of whole numbers and how most people don’t have a fraction of a hand.

              Aren’t whole numbers taught before that?

                And you’re free to argue that you’re paying for 28 days instead of 31. Some are willing to give you a deal just to shut you up. The vast majority are yearly leases that are averaged. Can you provide an example of something you pay for just one month? That’s not daily or weekly instead wrapped into monthly…?

                No, the average person has less than two hands, and your whole example isn’t even correct. Lots of people are missing fingers or portions of their hands…

                Also, the average February has more than 28 days since every fourth has an additional day to bring the average up.

                It really sounds like you don’t understand what the term average means here….

                  Nope, the average person has two hands, the average number of hands on a person is less than two. Just like the average American is white and not a combination of all sampled ethnic groups.

                  The average February more than 3/4ths of them are 28 days.

                  It really sounds like you don’t understand statistics.

                    You really can’t seem to stick to the same point can you? And where’s the examples? You don’t have any do you? You claimed there was plenty, let’s see them.

                    Your first comment you use decimals, and now you’re saying everything has to be whole numbers… can’t change your story to fit what you want mate.

                    Stop moving the goalposts, you made a mistake, don’t try to argue different points to save face. Take the L and move on.
