You guys are better than a calculator.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think ita got it first. She was just showing the work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't see "58,500" anywhere in ita's post.
(Come on, people -- give me this lame-ass mathy victory!)

just go sleep at the station tonight.
Hahahah. No. It'll be fine, I just have to take an unfamiliar route and pad things in case it fouls up traffic elsewhere.
One thing I don't like about this city is the lame and ill thought out public transit system. 75% of the time you have to drive *somewhere* and park to make any use of it. Even though I'm on the subway line, I don't use it.

Teppy wins. How do we know ita would have done the calculation correctly?

This is where we sift the wheat from the non-math, huh?
I don't have to do the calculation. What I posted is directly equivalent to what Teppy wrote, just earlier.
However, I will not deny her her rush, since she even got there some mystery way.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Damn.
My boss just introduced me to his niece as: "Aimee. Our bookkeeper who hates math."

The next time he says it (and he will) say something like, "Sheesh. A girl moonlights for Mattel as the voice of the new Barbie, ONCE, and you can't cut her a break."

Where do you get that double-sided tape that holds necklines, etc, in place?
