Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Leaving out the "+2", I'm getting 82.8 from ((72x15)/100)+72 or 72x15%+72, but again I can't figure how the "+2" fits in.

I think the answer depends on whether it's wabbit season.

Emily has decided that she will not invest in the common stock of any company, unless she can expect a rate of return of 15% per year. Casco, Inc. is now selling for $72.00 a share and pays an annual dividend of $2.00 per hare.

So Emily just needs to catch and mate a couple of rabbits, then.

Sushi should totally be one bite. I hate that people think bigger is better in this.

This! The mega-sized sushi served at most mid-range NY places drives me crazy with its wrongness. Bigger is not always better!

But the vinegar that's used in sushi rice makes it lower on the glycemic index than non-sushi white rice (yes, that's despite the fact that sushi rice has sugar in it; go figure).

They should film that and show it every Christmas!

So... is it THAT vinegar, or vingar in general?
