how can I turn £10 into £11 ?

I prefer your calculator to mine (Windows ME calculator), which only made it: £12,833,055,803,133,526.97
The Windows XP calculator agreed.

and a Python 3.1 shell made it £12,833,055,803,133,905.

Excel 2000 agrees with you.

OpenOffice 1.1 makes it £12,833,055,803,133,900 (as did version 3.2 too).

How are you supposed to do sensible fiscal planning when the tools do not provide accurate answers?

What timescale do you require ? My Fidelity China fund was up 10% in a month or 2 after opening and my BP shares are up 24%...

Hi,

How can I turn £10 into £11?

Invest it in a bank account, like the Nationwide E-Savings Plus which pays ~2% a year.

Within 5 years your £10 will become a mighty £11.

Charge a £1 compulsory booking fee on top. Everybody else does.

Count in base 9.

By far the best answer yet!!
