I think the door jammer is a neat product. To push and force open the door would take more than ten seconds - probably at least twenty seconds, which is enough time for the guest in the room to call for help.

The door jammer didn't work because the mockup door wobbled from side to side so it tipped over. In actual application, the door is fixed on a solid wall so the frame wouldn't shift from side to side. Its a shame the reason went unnoticed and the whole tone was set afterwards.

The door in the middle of the room nick Jenkins kicks us a pointless test. A door relies on the integrity of the frame, materials and locks. I doubt there was a lock in this test. It's a poor bedroom door worth maybe 50 gbp nowadays. It's sitting in the middle of a room not secured into anything on the sides, no wonder you can kick it in. You can block a door like this with a chair in a conventional setting. I would like to think a jam under the door in the right circumstances would make the door nigh on impossible to move.

Can someone explain the 600k for 50% in the bike deal at around 45:00 to me? If you look at it mathematical, the entrepreneur seems go be right. If the company is worth 600k and the investor pays 300k (into the company, NOT on the private bank account of the entrepreneur) for 50%, then the company is worth 900k now. The investor owns the equivalent of 450k, whoch is 150k more than he spent, while ghe entrepreneur has lost those 150k. Just like when you buy stocks of Microsoft online, this 300k must go the PRIVATE bank account of the entrepreneur in return for his 50% share of the company - only this way the dragons are correct.
