If I had some graph paper handy, maybe -- I really loved that kind of thing as a kid.
Therefore, I submit that it's not that 98% of people aren't smart enough, it is that we are too lazy.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooops. Sorry -- just wanted to share.
No need to apologize - there are plenty of smart Buffistas up to the challenge, methinks.

I'm considering an Excel spreadsheet.
I started a chart, and then gave up and drew big houses and started scribbling down the factors, many of which were guesses.
Which is actually sort of chartlike, now that I think about it.

I started out with 5 big index cards, but it got too messy. An electronic version will kill fewer trees in the long run.
But first I have to download the English version of OpenOffice to replace the Portuguese one I somehow wound up with last time.

The Boy (still doing the puzzle) just asked if he could use my Farscape action figures as representatives.

Okay, now I want to do this puzzle. Sadly, I will have to use either Sara's Barbies or her miniature Dora family.
