'Just Rewards (2)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It may be something akin to Tom Lehrer's line about "If you're under thirty-five or went to a private school, you say '7 from three is six,' but if you're over thirty-five and went to a public school, you say '8 from 4 is six.'"
FWIW, I never had problems lining up the columns. In fact it never even occurred to me that someone would put zeroes there until this morning.
Yeah, I thought it might be a generation gap thing.
Mmm... graph paper...
I don't remember having problems either, but then again, my elementary-school self viewed any such crutches as a sign of weakness and needing to be culled from the herd. I was not a particularly nice child.
I should also point out that when Games publishes those puzzles where the numbers in a multiplication problem have been replaced by letters, they don't include no steenkin' placeholders.

Of course not. In a puzzle, it would give away too much.

Greenpeace to pay fine for damaging coral reef
MANILA, Philippines - Greenpeace said Tuesday it will pay nearly $7,000 in damages after the environmental group's flagship, the Rainbow Warrior II, hit a coral reef at a world heritage site in the southern Philippines.
The accident Monday was "very regrettable," Greenpeace said in a joint statement with the Tubbataha National Marine Park, but it laid some of the blame on maritime charts showing its ship was 1.5 miles from the reef.

It was about carrying the one in "New Math," and I don't actually understand the second part, either, but then I was under thirty-five and had gone to a private school when I first heard the song.
Um, Raq, don't know if you're around right now, but what is the Doha Round?
Jesse, can you snag an underwire from a sucky bra and make Frankenbra?
Just keep it away from electrical outlets.
I had something, but...it's gone now. It may have involved cats. And bitching about dry skin.
