Big Mac Index

There was discussion about the Big Mac Index on the oztl list last week, and so here are two sites for making this comparison (cost of a Big Mac hamburger vs. exchange rate etc):

• Big Mac Index at Nationmaster.com - shows a bar graph ranking from most expensive to least
• The Economist's Hamburger Standard at Oanda.com - alphabetical spreadsheet listing with cost in local currency, $US and also shows purchasing power

And whaddya know?  Just as I'm writing this blog entry, a Maths teacher comes by who's just about to do a topic for which this is great.  Bingo!
