Well, after all, one does need to /earn/ the title of visionary... However, you've provided nice closure to some childhood trauma: I've no math skills, while my brother who is 5 years my senior has an excess of them. When I was quite young -- maybe 4? -- he taught me to participate in a parlor trick where I would demonstrate astonishing arithmetic skills. He would feed me a series of numbers and operations (4 + 3 * 2 - 2 +...) and I'd say the final answer and it was always correct. The gimmick was that by pre-arrangement he said he would say the final answer early on, in a particular place in the sequence, and then he'd make the computation wander around until it came back to that number. Friends and family were amazed. Except our mother, who knew I wasn't that bright. I guess now you've discerned that she was wrong. On 7/14/2014 9:52 AM, Barry Shein wrote:
