2. The marketing prof is doing an analysis of the addressable market for barbers in a given city. After the professor has opened the floor for questions, he is questioned on every aspect of his market breakup. 

Bright Student: “Sir, we show that we are reducing the market by 20% for bald people who do not need a barber’s service. But won’t they use the barber for other things like shaving, facials and what not”.[WELL DONE EINSTEIN. YOUR MAMMA MUST BE PROUD. I HOPE BY "WHAT NOT" YOU DIDNT MEAN BALD ESCORTS]
