Complaint, Department of Fair Trading, etc. If there's a significant amount failing just outside of warranty then they're not of merchantible quality and you have grounds to get a refund/repair.

Statistical formula? It's fairly basic.
0 4 x 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x
Extra number can go in any one of those 'x' positions, but can only go in one, and for each one there are 10 combos, so it's additive not multiplicative.
How about those who are hard at work inventing shit to make sure we can all have drinking water in 20 years time? There are over 9000 other jobs which are just as important as emergency services, and you're forgetting that most cops are cunts and most firies are filthy unionists.
