Hi,

I believe this is a question that requires a simple explanation without having to do any mathematics.

If people are disregarding this post, simply because it seems as if I am just thrusting the question out there, I am not.
The question is simple. It's a conceptual question.

So please take your time to answer.
 
which one? I got a slide show with several queations?
