Three minutes or less between the discovery of a problem and the solution?
Why don't you work for the government, Michael?

That would never do, Terese. To work for the government, you have to sign a declaration that you will never discover the solution to a problem in less than five years, by which time everyone hopes the problem will either have disappeared, or have been scientifically proved to be insoluble.

Thanks for the big grins, Mike and Brian!
Wish you could be in it, Brian. I am not in either, but it was health-related. Another year...
