#i do hate math

Ugh today I'll die with all these math assignments...you are all invited to my funeral.

I just spent one hour at Chipotle doing math of my own free will. Shocking yes? Well here's the story....

My sister was reading the back of my family's cups out of boredom. When I read my cup the first thing it said was there was over '60 thousand flavor combinations' at Chipotle. I laughed and said that wasn't true.

So I got out the hot sauce (I kid you not) and started doing the math. There are four grain styled ways to eat the food, five main meats/ vegetables, two beans, two rice, three salsas, corn, sour cream and cheese.

Assuming that you can have both rice or none, both beans or none, all three salsas, or any combinations of two salsas or one salsa, corn or none, sour cream or none and cheese or none. Along with only one meat or main way to eat the dish. That is 4x5x2^12 or 5x2^14 or 5x16384 or 81920!

THAT'S OVER 81 THOUSAND COMBINATIONS! BUT NO IT DOESN'T STOP THERE! I PROCEEDED TO ASK HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR ONE PERSON TO EAT ALL OF THESE COMBINATIONS BY THEMSELVES!

So let's assume that they eat twice a day at Chipotle (lunch and dinner) every day. That is 81920/365/2 or 40960/365 or 112 years.

IT WOULD TAKE YOU OVER 112 YEARS TO EAT ALL THE FLAVOR COMBINATIONS AT CHIPOTLE! 112 FUCKING YEARS!

I'm done.
