NobodyKnowsWeight=9ozToShip,or~Item1.3Lbs!, January 14, 2010
This review is from: Ajika Green Mango Powder Amchur Spicev- Adds A Tangy Taste to Foods (Misc.)
Nobody here really Knows: what's the 'mango powder's pure
Weight'(:=X)? - Let's try to find out - from this seller's info:
~ Wt1 = 9 oz , - as 'Weight To Ship' [ that's ~270 g ] ,
or
~ Wt2 = 1.3 Lbs (pounds)~ as 'Item Weight' [ that's ~ 590.2 g ]!
Surely: .....Wt1 > Wt2..........(1), - because 'Item Weight' is
included in 'Weight To Ship' , - at least it sould be so. -
But...Wt1 = 270g < 590 g = Wt2..(2), that contradicts with (1)!(*)
- So if they take 590 g , pack it, put in a box to ship, -
& then it becomes more than twicely less in weight, - probably
they poor out that mango powder & just send to us an empty can(?)...
To buy it - everyone wants to know the 'netto' weight (=X?) of
this can/jar of mango powder. - Otherway just nobody buy it!
If empty 'can with cover' has weight:= Wo, then ...Wt2 = Wo + X...(3),
where X is the weight of pure mango powder that I'm trying to find.
If an 'empty shipping box with something besides' item that prevent
item to be broken, - has weight:= Ws, then ...Wt1 = Ws + Wt1 .....(4),
Then from Equations (3)&(4) we transitively have:Wt1 = Ws + Wo + X..(5),
where X is the weight of pure mango powder that I'm trying to find
yet. Let's suppose that "approximately" Wo = ~90 g & Ws = ~ 100 g.
How "approximately" close is it? - it doesn't really matter. Then
from Equations (5)&(3) we have two equations:
{...270 g = ~90 g + ~100 g + X ...(6);... 590 g = ~90 g + X ...(7)}.
So from the First Equation(6):X=270g-(~100g)-(~90g)= ~80g;-but from
the Second Equation(7):X=590g-(~90g)= ~500g,-that's more than 6 times
heavier than the same weight X from the First Equation(6)!(**)
After both contradictions: (*) & (**) , I just couldn't trust
this seller! - I rest my case! - Somebody please correct this seller
or amazon's weight arithmetics info or it would look like gypsy 'bazar'?!
- Does anybody really know this one mango powder pure weight?!
- It looks like only X= ~2.7oz of mango powder is packed in very heavy can
with something else heavy - just like such complete waste of my money!
