rough estimate of cost:
population of the pacific: ca. 65.7 million
population of atlasia: ca. 312.9 millionnumber of public school students in atlasia: ca. 49.5 million=> estimated number of public school students in the pacific: ca. 10.4 million
cost of a mac laptop: at least $1000the cheapest laptops seem to be around $200
cost of original bill: ca. $10.4 billion
cost of cranberry's amendment: between $1.04 billion (if all students use the second option) and $2.6 billion (if all students use the first option)
this is a rough estimate, of course -- for one thing, i've completely ignored any sort of negotiations or bulk prices.
