Understand how it is possible to complete the World Cup album with only $ 170

The World Cup album has already turned into a fever among adults and children. Whether it's the little ones who want to collect the players' photos or the nostalgic adults who want to remember their childhood days when collecting the stickers, it's a fact that the Brazil Cup album has been a real success. And, if you don't want to spend a lot of money to complete all the stickers on your album, CEFET-RJ math master Flávia Freitas Maia did some calculations and said you can complete the entire book with $ 170.

If you think so much, her calculations say that people who want to be lucky enough to go to the newsstands should spend about $ 1, 000 (!) To complete the album. According to Freitas Maia, the collector who wants to spend less should buy approximately 410 figurines on the stalls, resulting in a total of $ 82. According to her, the collector who does this should get about 239 repeated figures - which must be exchanged with other people.

And those missing?

The other 239 stickers that are missing to complete the album must be purchased directly from Panini, which sells the specific stickers with a shipping of $ 6.50. This way, the amount you spend on the stickers will be much less than you buy packages and more packages at the stools. Flávia says that by exchanging the stickers with friends, it is possible to complete the album with about R $ 240. The calculations of these assumptions were made by her based on combinatorial analysis.

The World Cup album has become a real fever not only in Brazil, but in the world as well. Panini has released 8.5 million units of the album in 120 countries, and is expected to earn approximately $ 1 billion with the initiative. Even President Dilma has confessed to collecting stickers. "It is good, it serves to relieve the tension of the daily presidency, " he said at the time.
