omg! you're ........... WRONG! Nicht Korrekt! Unricht! Verblunget!

The Vleeptron High Non-Junk Science Council would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend

the amazing, powerful, straightforward desktop Reverse Polish Notation / RPN / Lukaciewicz Notation scientific calculator, from Norge/Norway!

And it's FREE!!!!!!!!!

HOWEVER the Inventor, Bernt Ribbum, loves to cook, and really loves it when ppl send him Fresh Cooking Spices from their part of Earth. I went down to the Williamsburg General Store which has a huge spice collection, and sent him things I guessed were rarely cooked with in Norge.

It is permissable to mail cooking spices to Norway from the USA. I checked. I don't know about spices between Luxembourg and Tunisia.

My late pal Jessie Benoit said her mom brought Opium Poppy Seeds with her when she left Poland and came to the USA maybe around 1900, and then she started growing Opium Poppies in the backyard, because she was terrified the USA might not have poppy seeds to bake bread with. (She threw the opium away.)

Anyway, back to Algebra Class. Ask your pal Burghi how he might go about this problem. Or buy a clock from him.

Very interesting post. I'm not sure I understand all of it but I hope to get there.

Hiya Mr P --

18 months ago I would have made fun of Internet Casino gambling.

Today, comparing all possible available investments -- Internet Casino gambling makes a lot of sense and promises a comparable return to the more traditional financial investments.

Your odds haven't changed. The odds of every other gasme have.

ANYWAY ...

1. Did you read the Original Problem about the monk stealing wine in the cellar?

2. If you did ... What part of this post don't you understand? Vleeptron always aims to be Clear and Easy to Grok.

3. The story about the Poppies ... well, to people who love the finest cooking, Poppy Seeds are far more precious than that gooey nasty Opium gum in the middle of the flower.

4. XCALC is a freeware desktop calculator with a gazillion functions beyond [+] [-] [*] [/] (and sometimes Square Root}.

5. Reverse Polish Notation / RPN is the way God does arithmetic. The Creator of the Universe uses an HP, not a TI. It was invented by a Polish logician, Lukaciewicz.
