Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My poor officemate was kind of freaking out. But she got on the phone (instead of email) and everything worked out.

Dudes, I am drunk. Accidentally. I hate that!

Ann, that's a ferret.

sadly, didn't make up for the rest of Virginia, but the big spread did make me happy for the DC area, if nothing else.

See: My tagline.

I was surprised that Prince William and Loudoun Counties both went for Webb. By narrow margins, true, but they're traditionally the most right-wing parts of metro DC.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think the quota is 57; that's the smallest possible winning number.

This is right. (I've taught weighted voting in a couple times before. When it asks for the quota like that, it means "What's the smallest number of votes that one side can get and still have more than the other side?" And yeah, the dummy is 13, and no one has veto power.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Someone may not have read the fine print on the prenup.

Just back from sushi with my (soon to be ex) boss. Crazy CEO will be in the office tomorrow. Unscheduled. Should be interesting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And yeah, the dummy is 13, and no one has veto power.

Hi Hil. I'm not terribly familiar with weighted voting as a subject, but given the problem begins with:

If there are four voters, with voting weights of 30, 29, 28, and 13, and if one, and only one, of the voters has veto power

doesn't someone have to have veto power?
