+ | [[Cueball]], apparently representing [[Randall]], is having issues choosing a good backpack. He notices their different features and is indecisive. The chart below shows that he spends more time unsure of what backpack to pick than of any other such major choice as a college or a car. | ||
− | + | Also, '''relatively''' unimportant things like laptops apparently cost him more time to choose than an apartment. This could be explained due to the ''presumably'' higher frequency of someone buying the former. Also, there might be more difficulty in choosing a laptop in comparison to an apartment, like more factors to consider, or a larger assortment of viable choices. Of course, the most obvious explanation is that Randall is more interested in choosing laptops then apartments, which could seem odd to some less technically inclined people. | |

In fact, it is so heavy that Cueball thinks he will need to carry it around in a cart, defeating the purpose of the backpack. However, Cueball considers it simply because of the perfect pocket arrangement, which he cannot use anyway due to the backpack's heaviness. |
