ETC Information
ETC資訊

If you follow a tall car so closely to go through the ETC gate, you will ~~~.
I cannot talk about it further.
Please image what I want to say.
跟著高個子車這麼近過ETC閘門就會~~~,

Getting off Paying Tolls
少扣過路費

I drove along the same way in these three days.
At second day, I happened on to follow a tourist coach in the traffic jam.
I tried to drive close to the tourist coach as near as possible.
It really made me getting off paying some tolls.   :P
PS : Do not learn me. It is dangerous.
連續三天走一樣的路,
中間那天塞車時正好跟到一台遊覽車,
所幸跟緊一點玩玩看,
還真的讓我少扣好幾站.   :P
PS : 叔叔有練過, 小朋友不要學.

Calculation of interest of time deposit
定存利息的計算方式

For a CD at 1% interest,
many people think the the interest is 100000 X 0.01 = 1000 dollars.
It's wrong.
Actually, you'll get 1004 dollars.
You can get the number from 100000 X ( ( ( 1 + ( 0.01 / 12 ) ) ^ 12 ) - 1 ) = 1004.
以 100000 元定存一年利率 1% 為例,
很多人以為一年利息是 100000 X 0.01 = 1000 元, 錯!!
實際上你會拿到 1004 元的利息,
計算方式是 100000 X ( ( ( 1 + ( 0.01 / 12 ) ) ^ 12 ) - 1 ) = 1004 元

Checheng-Annual Passes of NMMBA
車城-海生館年票

Common Member : 999 dollars/1 year
Whale Shark Member : 2700 dollars/3 years
Beluga Member : 3990 dollars/5 years
It is our Common Member Cards.
There are three kinds of Annual Passes of NMMBA.
If you only go there during summer vacation,
Common Member is the best choice.
Because if you apply for membership in the middle of summer vacation,
you can go there during the beginning of next summer vacation.
Two summer vacations cost 999 dollars.
Four summer vacations cost 1998 dollars.
Six summer vacations cost 2997 dollars.
In contrast to it, Whale Shark Member and Beluga Member aren't good choices.
一般會員 : 999元/1年
鯨鯊會員 : 2700元/3年
白鯨會員 : 3990元/5年
這是我們辦的一般會員卡,
海生館有三種不同年限的年票,
對於我們只有在暑假去玩的人來說,
辦一年期的年票是最划算的,
因為你只要在暑假的中間辦, 就可以明年的暑假初也去,
兩個暑假只要999元, 四個暑假只要1998元, 六個暑假只要2997元,
相較之下, 辦三年期跟五年期的年票就虧大了.

Dangerous difference of speed
危險的速差

Many motorcyclists like running across inner lane when turning left.
They think they can cut in as long as they are faster.
Actually it is a dangerous behavior.
For example, if you want to run across by 60 degrees;
70 x sin(60) = 60.2;
you should run more than 70km/h to cut in a car at 60km/h.
Look at the motorcycle in front of me,
I have to brake my car to avoid hitting him.
很多機車騎士很喜歡在左轉時切過內側車道,
以為自己只要比別人快就可以超過去,
實際上這是非常危險的行為.
舉例來說, 要以60度角切過車道,
70 x sin(60) = 60.2,
因此機車要以約時速70公里才可以切過時速60公里的直行車.
看看我前面的機車, 我必須要煞車才不會撞上他.

Fund Front Load Fee
基金手續費

We usually need paying front load fee when buying funds.
The discount from bank is one thing,
how to make perfect use of it is another thing.
For example, we often spend several thousand dollars on buying funds,
maybe three thousand dollars or four thousand dollars or whatever.
If we spend 3000 dollars on buying funds
and the front load fee after discounting is 1.5%,
the smount of front load fee is 45 dollars.
The point is front load fee is derived from rounding off to integer.
In that case, 3001 dollars fund produces 45 dollars fee.
3002 dollars fund produces 45 dollars fee too.
If the front load fee is 1.5%, 3033 dollars fund is the best choice.
That's have your own calculation at once!!
買基金大部分都需要手續費,
銀行給的折扣是一回事,
如何把手續費百分之百利用又是另一回事.
舉例來說, 大家常常以千元為單位購買基金,
以3000元來說, 銀行打完折假設手續費是1.5%,
這時候就必須付出45元手續費.
重點在於手續費是四捨五入算出來的,
3001元也是收45元手續費,
3002元也是收45元手續費,
以手續費是1.5%的條件下, 3033元是最划算的,
大家趕快去算算吧!!

Saving even 4 dimes
0.4元也要省

You can get 4 dimes rebate
if you top up the petrol at right volume.
This is because that the amount of money always
rounds off to integer.
For example :
If you top up the petrol for 28 liters
when oil price is 31.3 dollars per liter,
all you need to pay is 876 dollars
not 31.3 x 28 = 876.4 dollars. YA!!
加油的時候, 總金額的小數點以下是四捨五入,
所以如果你正好小數點以下是0.4元,
你就賺到了0.4元, 舉例來說 :
假如油價是31.3元, 加28公升,
31.3 x 28 = 876.4,
可是你只需要付876元, YA!!

藍印子

I recommend a store "藍印子"
which sells something for gravidas and babies.
The price of Aprica's car seat is 40% off.
It is very cheap.
I can't find any other store can be as cheap as "藍印子".
The address is "No.458, Nanda Rd., Hsinchu City 30061".
推薦一家賣孕婦嬰兒用品的店家"藍印子",
Aprica的汽車安全座椅打六折喔!!
超便宜的, 網路上最少都要六五折,
所以要推薦給大家,
地址在30061新竹市南大路458號.

Mathematics in McDonald's
麥當勞裡的算術

McChicken 39 dollars, combo 99 dollars,
________difference 60 dollars.
Filet-O-Fish 69 dollars, combo 99 dollars,
________difference 30 dollars.
6pcs McNuggets 69 dollars, combo 105 dollars,
________difference 36 dollars.
Big Mac 75 dollars, combo 115 dollars,
________difference 40 dollars.
Spicy Chicken Filet Burger 79 dollars, combo 125 dollars,
________difference 46 dollars.
2pcs Chicken McCrispy 78 dollars, combo 135 dollars,
________difference 57 dollars.
The prices are very unfair.
For example, if you want to eat
a McChicken, a Filet-O-Fish, a French fries and a cup of drink,
you can order a McChicken combo with a Filet-O-Fish,
or a Filet-O-Fish combo with a McChicken.
All you get are the same,
but the total price difference is 30 dollars.
So, make sure that your mathematics is good enough.
Or you will become victim of McDonald's.
麥香雞 39 元, 套餐 99 元, 價差 60 元,
麥香魚 69 元, 套餐 99 元, 價差 30 元,

一品燒飯香堡 79 元, 套餐 125 元, 價差 46 元,
一品燒穀堡 79 元, 套餐 125 元, 價差 46 元.
是怎樣?! 一樣多個飲料跟薯條,
少的只要加 30 元, 多的卻要加 60 元,
如果你要吃麥香雞加麥香魚加薯條加飲料,
點一號餐加麥香魚要 168 元,
點二號餐加麥香雞卻只要 138 元,
呦呵呵, 內容不都一樣嗎!!
每次點麥當勞都要心算一下,
不然可會被當冤大頭.
