Would you believe one taco every 1-1/2 second? That's rough arithmetic, figuring they might have been open 18 hours. Of course they wouldn't have been selling many at 6 a.m. or almost midnight, so at times there must have been three or four tacos going out a second.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Next I will figure out how many heads of lettuce per minute were needed.

<font size="+1">Hola!<br>
<br>
The local Taco Time on Sixth Street is displaying on its
advertising sign that they sold 39,358 tacos during their Cinco de
Mayo sale of 69 cent tacos.<br>
<br>
Considering the Moscow population to be 23,866, then deducting 16
percent for underage kids, leaves about 20,047 adults. Dividing
this number into the number of tacos sold means that this year's
Cinco de Mayo TPC -- Tacos Per Capita -- is 1.96. In other words,
enough tacos were sold May 5th so that almost every adult in town
could have had two tacos, if they were all equally distributed.<br>
<br>
As far as economic statistics are concerned, it may not be as
grand as full employment, but a local TPC approaching 2.0 is a
pretty impressive number nonetheless.<br>
