Apologies if this is slightly off-topic, but Russell Roberts, in an essay in
the WSJ a few years ago, had used the problem of splitting the bill to
illustrate the nature of government spending. The full essay is here:

What are you basic requirements?
- 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1
- HD or not
- Screen type
- Budget
But stay away from the Bose's of the world, eh?
Hi,
I'm planning to get myself a home theatre system over the next couple
of months. There's a lot of stuff in the market and, naturally, a lot
of jargon. Googling leads me to a lot of stuff that's either too basic
or too technical.
Anybody got any pointers for online resources with which I can b

It's sometimes awkward when the bill arrives at a large gathering of
people at a restaurant - figuring out who pays what, &c. Here's an

He's got a couple of places that he can book you at. (He's a friend and has
