Well to be fair the X7 can seat 7 passengers while the Pz. II has only 3 seats.

So, in average, the tank carries more people.

[–] treeofnik@discuss.online 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

X7 = 1.35 people/meter, tank = 0.62 people/meter

ETA: not that I’m justifying the size or anything lol. Just mathing

But the X7 will on average carry one

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Persons carried on average has to be >1.0. Might be less then 1.5 which would make your statement true after rounding down but it cannot be 1 unless there are a lot of drivers that miss a leg or an arm and you are a biggot who sees them as less than 1 person.

You're quite correct if the average we're using is the mean, but the mode is also a way of expressing an average, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was 1 for the BMW.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Definitely true, the mode is much more likely 1 than 2-7 for sure.

Oh yeah? But the tank has 0.201 more cannons per meter that the car. In other words, infinitelly more, infinitelly better.

3 seats inside, 4 can sit on the back for transportation.
