Or a d6 with the 4, 5 and 6 faces blank. When you roll, if the face isn't blank, that's your number. If it is then flip the die over and subtract that number from 7.

Only uses 6 pips.

Because there are a finite number of states, it will always loop.

An interesting question might be around how many distinct loops there are and whether there's some pattern to the loop lengths.

The AI output was much easier to understand than your homepage.

I read your homepage for 10 seconds - I thought it was just a low resolution display.

I read the AI output - I realised there were apps and also what kind of apps were available. A completely different product.

I once put the word "complaint" on the top of a letter to a UK bank who had made a mistake on a statement. It made all the difference. What had previously been dismissed as unimportant was addressed and they sent me £100 compensation.

Just taking that first step towards the Financial Ombudsman was enough.

So what? The company still generated the VAT revenue.

The customer gets a refund, but has to charge their own customer VAT on the full amount of the goods they are selling, so the VAT accumulates until it is paid by someone who cannot claim the VAT back

That's why it's called "value added tax" - each supplier in the chain generates VAT on the value they add.

Here's a simple model:

A market of one token that was initially worth nothing 1 year ago but the market now sees has value - let's say $100 - because it has some genuine utility - various companies have said they will accept it as payment for a variety of different products.

If you add all the cashflows for trading on this token over the year, $100 has been made. In fact the only way for these cashflows to sum to zero is for the token to be worth zero.

Where did that value come from? It came from the increased utility of the token.
