Wasn't the thread won when Mike (or somebody, I don't remember anymore), followed shortly by me, said Oppenheimer?
*dumbfounded stare* Oh.
Well. You're right... you don't remember. And no... you haven't killed the thread...
So... whilst you sit there basking in the glow of your imaginary silver medal David :) given that I know you have been feeling poorly and (judging by your dream) a little bit not all there... I am going to be kind and use the word "illusion" in response to that. Where you ARE right however, is in thinking the name I am seeking has already been mentioned. Why I have not declared the winner yet is because I am 99.999 percent sure that the winner would not know how or why he had won unless I told him how... and then I told him why... and then I told him whom he had found and won with... *deeply exasperated sigh* which I haven't felt like doing today *sniff so hard proboscis shortens three inches* or indeed any day since it was posted.
So yes oh great einsteinians... you are right to stare at me all horrified and outraged... for you have stumbled aimlessly upon my mean streak :) and it is not a pleasant mire to stagger about in... No. Bwaaaaah ha ha ha ha ha :)
And now stare at this... for it is a twinkly star... a calibration source if you like :)
That, I believe, is a whole lot of twinkly stars.

And that is almost as disturbing as my dream.

...and what did you do with them? Only just stop yourselves from telling me where to ignominiously pop them... *wounded blink*
Now... as I'm not the kind of person who likes saying "I told you so" (and pointing out other's errors whilst cackling till I incur an injury :))))))))... I suggest you just imagine I haven't. And while you're imagining that, imagine... *to give einsteinians time to imagine two things at once... out of goodness of heart... gaze into faaaaaar distance* ... how much torture you could have saved yourselves from people... if ONLY you'd taken the anniet shortcut signposted as it was so thoroughly in TLPTLWWPLTTPL two ones... and then again with such clarity in this post where I explained my brain :)
These acid flashbacks, while somewhat entertaining, are no more enlightening now than the first time.
Surely you can't be referring to Justin Timberlake or Bieber. No. It is so far out of the realm of possibility I didn't even make that a question.
Totally out of context to its place in the above morass,

@David : Honestly don't worry. Anyone whose dreams are that organised with scripting, excellent scene editing and titles is doing fine. Whatever the subject. I dream of having dreams that coherent.
My typical one - a thousand fuzzy variants - is where I can't find my car where I left it in the parking lot, and this is just after I've handed in an assignment too late at University. Neither of these topics has ever been an issue or concern in my life, not once. Not to mention that in particular I never had a car to misplace when I was at uni. So go figure. :-)
But I take this happily, as it beats hands down the ones I used to have for a year or two after the bush-fire-storm that nearly killed us all in '09. That I won't burden you with in detail ....
Yes, please don't. I still vaguely remember the dreams I had after they showed us a film about fire safety in approximately 4th grade.

You were right Mike she is a "teacher"!
I always disliked that in school, some flash comes and you get the right answer but then it's wrong because you can't PROVE how you got it. Sometimes answers just come to us, with us having no Earthly way to trace back to how we got there from here. They are called 'inspirations', or in Science 'leaps', where that leap or inspiration came from could be from some non related subject altogether, but the fact is someone did get the right answer and they are STILL WRONG!!
With age Anniet I have begun to understand the thinking on this, and I VERY HIGHLY respect teachers!
I always understood the logic behind that, even if I didn't like it. Once, in electronics class, I was the only one in the class who got a particular question right on a quiz, but then it turned out I did it wrong and it was just a fluke of the numbers the teacher used in the question that allowed me to get the right answer the wrong way. Nevertheless, I always like to check my work, no matter how certain I am of my flashes of inspiration. Just last week, a student returned an overdue book. If they bring overdue books to us and say "Hi, this book is overdue, I want to pay the fine right now," we cut the fine in half. In this case, the fine was $3.90 (39 days late). My brain flashed to $1.85, I charged him that, and he walked away. Then I entered a payment of $1.85 in the computer and it said he still owed $2.05, so I had to waive that incorrect amount.
Anywhosit, I slept rather better last night. Not as well as I needed to, but better. It doesn't help when I wake up at 3 needing to visit the euphemism and as soon as I de-recline the chair the cat jumps on me, then after being chased off, he gets in the way of my unstable legs as I try to stand up. But anyway, no unpleasant dreams. (One strangely pleasant one of a type I don't often have, that even more uncommonly came to a climax (only within itself, not in physical reality). It involved nurses.)

Hang on my maths isn't that bad ....
1/2 of $3.90 is $1.95 not $1.85 .......
Not only did you waive $2.05 he STILL owed 10C !!
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Apparently your maths is that bad. According to Windows Calculator, 3.9 - 1.85 = 2.05.

Yes... *enter flat arid mode* I admire your powers of observation David. As the first one went... so far above your heads, I was forced to lob in more.

It isn't and it does... so I've replaced him with letters... much like they do in maths in fact which I think Aurel is missing... bless :)

Now all you have to do is work out who won it and what with :) and the first person to get that right can decide between themself and the person who won, who won it. Happy now!? :)
@Aurel :)
Yes... a lot of pictures :) I learned to use them as a form of communication with my son before he finally decided I might be an okay person to chat to... and between you and me - I think some of our einsteinians need them... :)))))) so I do hope you're not on dial-up :/
But... just keeping on the maths theme for a moment now that everyone else appears to have given up... :)
Here is the first question of a maths exam that my son sat at the end of primary school. It's the reason why he got one mark for the whole paper and why his teacher (who was invigilating the exam and knew he had a bit of a maths genius in my son) had to leave the room and bang his head on the wall outside for ten minutes...
Draw in the flag to complete the rotational symmetry
The problem is my son is VERY good at drawing too :) very very good... and very very very good at drawing in very small fine detail and then duplicating it precisely... as if photocopied... at every possible orientation you request.
Ask a child with autism THAT question instead of one that simply says... complete the rotational symmetry... will mean they're likely to run out of time but produce a fantastic drawing for which they are guaranteed... one mark. Teachers take note :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
