A Business Idea
This is funny... Currently, at all Timezone Arcades, there is this deal available... You pay $5 for 8 plays of the Shooting Hoops (ie. 62.5 cents per game)...

Nowadays, if the machine has 6 balls and is not screwed up or anything, I can hit a score of at least 360, which translates to 36 E-Tickets...

At the rewards counter, if you have 33 E-Tickets, you can exchange those for one can of coke, which I can resell at the standard price of $1.

Does this mean I earn 38.5 cents and a free Shooting Hoops game?

Employ hundreds of cheap labour to do this, like a sweat shop, and you might turn a handsome profit :D

Where are you going to find all those suckers to buy your $1 cans of coke? =p

I think they still earn money @ 62.5 cents per coke.
