App Of The Week (3)
I have written before about one of the strange panics prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic; the need to find and stockpile toilet paper. No one has yet convinced me that, for all the terrible things this dread disease can do to your body and organs, it makes you go to the toilet more often than you ordinarily would.
Still, if you are worried that you may run out of toilet paper anytime soon, a German website, Blitzrechner.de, has produced an app that will help you. All you do is enter how many toilet rolls you have, how often you go to the toilet a day, how many wipes per trip, how many squares of tissue per wipe, and how many people are in the house and press a button.
The app will work out how many day’s supply you have.
I suppose it serves a purpose. but the thought strikes me; can’t people solve simple mathematical problems these days without having to resort to an app?
