    Apparently I am not old (or maybe smart) enough. I just don't get it.

    It's a reference to the movie 10 starring Bo Derek.

    (Except, since the figure in the picture is 100, it's not a very good reference. So it's not surprising you don't get it).

    It's not surprising that you comment in your usual lackwitted fashion as you're such a nitpicking literalist you're genetically incapable of understanding comparative levels of excellence.

    I know Bo Derek, and I know the movie 10. What's the connection to that picture?

    Don't be such a nitpicking literalist.

    Tangential question to the topic - I'm used to there being 3 octane levels of petrol being usually offered at a pump....lower/mix/higher. In many places in Canada that's 87/89/91. Looking at the 4 shown here....this works for 87/93/100 - but 89 doesn't really work unless the pump has the ability to have unequal proportions of both - or there is actually more than 2 tanks for petrol (either option is more expensive than a simple solution). Any idea how this works?

    Please - ELI5 and don't know everything about New Zealand. Things usually are set up for the cheapest/simplest setup...I'm used to there being 3 tanks under a petrol station, low-grade, high-grade and diesel. This gives most options for simplest/lowest cost. 100 octane has got to be expensive as, so even if they used more-expensive pumps which had the ability to mix different ways....these all would drive up the costs for the station and make them less competitive.

    Lol. Have you seen Noel Fielding's rendition of the original Kate Bush video? He nails it.

    Would have the same effect as supplying a picture of the Beehive and mentioning Brian May.
