	That C++ is 6.8312 times more used than Ada
	That Cobol is 5.673 times more used that c++
	That Cobol is therefor 6.8312*5.673 times more used than Ada
	(btw that = 38.753445 times more)

	I suppose that may be expected though as Cobol was used by
	Noah on the Ark's Ticket booking system. And C++/C is taught
	in universities
