Answer to Question 1

The German glass reuse system exists, it functions well, and has been in use for
decades. It is quite commonplace and an accepted part of life. Germans are very picky about
taste, and many friends swear to me that they can taste the can (but not the bottle) when
they drink. It seems to me and other observers that the mystique of beer is a part of the
German national character.

Answer to Question 2

We have referred to this abovethe surprising speed at which the growth occurs
near the end of growth compared to near the beginning. In linear growth, the growth is the
same at all times.
