An engineer once told me that the probabilities of failure of a light bulb are very high in the first hours of its life, then they drop dramatically close to zero for most of its life, and then they start rising again up to the end of its life…I will go with only 1 calculator tomorrow, having used it for only 9 months, I hope it won’t disappoint me…

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Responses in this thread are funny … and they say CFA candidates don’t know how to joke 
I’ve actually had a problem with my CFA calculator that I never figured out and just bought a new one. For some reason when I did TVM calcs, the answer was always less than half the actual right answer. I reset it and everything.
