How 2 make numbers relatable

Mark Twain once said there were "three kinds of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics."

He was not the first nor will he be the last person whose eyes glaze over when presented with numbers that don't have any immediate meaning to him personally.



NumberQuotes (http://numberquotes.com/) is a site that can help you with that problem. You enter any number and it will give you a list of ways to relate that number to everyday things.

For example, when I enter the number 52, I find out that someone with a weekly Starbucks Cafe Latte Grande habit could afford an iPhone if they simply saved that money instead of indulging.

52 Caffe Latte Grandes would buy 1.29 iPhones
