    For Laurent's problem, even if we ignore the year, it's still a WTF, having to wait a month for updates on the status of your electricity outage.

    29% on Nan dollars? Such a deal. Are the terms ∞ ? Perhaps the the calculation involves sqrt(-1)?

    Good bet on the last of those. Any money you might receive is certainly only imaginary. :)

    A late payment charge of 2.91% per month (41.09% per year)

    Is math really that hard, or are corporations forced some legal loophole for compound interest on late fees, or what?

    2.91 * 12 = 34.92
41.09 / 12 = 3.42

    1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291
