Registered. A very large chunk of my quality of life is due to my facility with searching Amazon and Google and Scopus (and using Google to search Amazon.) Even one little tidbit will be pay off exponentially.
Let's not overuse "exponentially": http://lesswrong.com/lw/coo/avoid_inflationary_use_of_terms/
Or at least, say what the rate is. If it's 1%, compounded continually, then the investment will have doubled in about 69 years. So if it takes 6 x 50 = 300 minutes (and let's say zero time on studying) Mark will have saved 600 minutes by the year 2081. Or is that saved 300 minutes, after accounting for the 300 minute investment? I'm not used to using exponentials for time savings...
Could you give an example?
