Question Baking pies or snowcone making?

I did some calculating to see what the time loss to gralat loss was when comparing apple snowcone making to apple pie making.. here is what I came up with, although numbers might be slightly different for others:

It takes roughly 8 minutes to milk 3 cows (if you do them all at once) and to unstick yourself, and go to snowcone place, and then make the apple snowcones.. it takes 6 minutes to milk the 3 cows.

It takes roughly 2 minutes to bake an apple pie from start to finish. If you were to bake pies for 8 minutes, you would be able to bake around 4 pies.

Now that we have those numbers, lets get to the interesting part.

-The profit made from the 8 minutes of milking and snowcone making is 21g
-The profit made from the 8 minutes of baking 4 pies is 32g
-The apples used in making snowcones added up to be 6 apples
-The apples used in making 4 pies added up to be 16 apples

In total, it required 6 apples to make 21g in 8 minutes for snowcone making, and 16 apples to make 32g in 8 minutes of pie baking.

Apple Snowcone making: 6 apples, 21g
Apple Pie baking: 16 apples 32g

Now all you have to do is ask yourself, is the extra 11g worth 10 of your apples? 10 apples that if used to make snowcones, would make you 35g?

Of course you still might prefer the pie baking, and say that the time spent making the snowcones could be spent farming more apples.. but if you buy apples in bulk from someone for a lower price (since most people sell apples for 1.5g) you don't even have to farm.

I'm just making this poll to get everyones feedback.. if you don't do either job, don't complain because I didn't add your job.. this is for these jobs only.
