    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      The sad thing is that I would have understood the entire page at one time, now that I'm old and forgetful I only understand the last 2 lines...

        Heck I wouldn't have gotten past the first line and would have drawn the bottom two lines further up the page

          I understand the "blob". That's about it.

                I think the answer is 42.

                  In Metric it would be 85.283

                  You may think I am crazy (my wife says that all the time) but I used to understand those things and sometimes I miss doing all those calculations.

                      I often have to read technical papers written by academics who feel compelled to use a lot of math. I used to skip the pages of equations but as I've gotten older, I've been feeling more and more guilty about being so lazy.

                      It takes a while but eventually I get to the state at the bottom of Loring's picture.

                          Agreed. 7.5 million years of computing can't be wrong.

                              Uh.... you feeling okay, wade78?

                              I agree. The answer is clearly 42.
