Thanks...now I understand what Chris posted...

I think we're all pretty confident that it can't be done, I'm of that opinion anyway, but it's that final verfication that's needed.

**Monstro** · 18 Jan 2008, 10:55

Kids, teachers, homework, thought I'd left all that wayyyyyy behind!!!!!

*AndyK* · 18 Jan 2008, 10:59

All those mornings when the cat ate your homework are coming back to haunt you

*AndyK* · 18 Jan 2008, 14:39

OK.

The finest mathematical minds in our company agree with me, there is no solution for 29 that they can come up with, they did start talking about differentiating logarthmic integrated powers, but I just shut the door on them and left them to it.

Keep 'em occupied for hours that lol

They'll be there all weekend creating mathematical models, algorithms and software, I could have crippled our overtime budget for the year

mszee · 18 Jan 2008, 18:36

I have to admit...I talked to mathematicians too after I've failed here so miserably...nobody has the answer...so I guess we have to wait for the teacher...

Chris, Angelica...you better not make us wait...or else!!!
