Plucked from the Usenet (author unknown): The Economics of Farkling

Greens are better farklers (farkleberry collectors, of course) than most Purples. However, in a farkling competition in which the income of the Greens is equal to the income of the Purples, the matches are standoffs. Farkling ability has been demonstrated by independent researchers to have a possible connection with diet.
The Greens have more money than the Purples and can afford better farkling instruction.
The most promising approach to equalisation of farkling ability would probably be to:

(a) Provide farkling ability dietary ingredients to the Purples.
(b) Equalise the wealth by giving enough Green money to Purples.
(c) Make sure the Purples have sufficient nourishment for good
health.
(d) Obtain better farkling teachers and equipment for the Purples.
