Example 1:
Player A has a current rating of 700 & produces the following sequence
100,100,50,50,100,100
Player B has a current rating of 600 & produces the same sequence
against the same opposition.

Q: Which player will have a higher rating after that sequence?

If the rating takes into account the ratings prior to the sequence,
hopefully Player A.

If not, then they should rate the same.

Player A has a current rating of 700 & produces the following sequence
100,100,50,50,100,100 against decent attacks
Player B has a current rating of 700 & produces the following sequence
100,100,50,50,100,100 against great/decent attacks

Q: Which player will have a higher ratings after that sequence?

Player B, hopefully.

Q: If Warren Buffett & you earn the same 10% on your net worth this
year, who would have had a higher net worth at the end?

Whoever had the higher net worth at the start of the year, assuming
all other things being equal (ie costs)

Q: If Warren Buffett & you make $10,000 for the whole year in the
stock market, who would have had a higher net worth end?

Same as previous question.


How bout some hard questions now?
