We'll start this thread off with the following:

Hint #1: The rate of increase in density is decreasing.

No clue on the hint, but

No clue on the hint, but congrats Phil.

Poop, I could have checked in Saturday. I was home most of the day. But noooo, I had to take a nap and then watch two Scooby Doo movies at the same time.

Sunday on the streetcar was back to normal, more or less. We were calling it the Trick or Treat Trolley. There were a few decorations inside and a couple of ladies handing out pretzels, animal crackers, and Skittles at the Springfield Ave. stop. Lost my pole in the barn again and then twice in the yard, but that was it. Kept busy pretty much all day, too. Didn't have to ping-pong, so it wasn't as rough on my knees. The car made 18 trips; I made 17 and was relieved once (to visit the euphemism). Unfortunately, the decorations, treats, and leaves made for more than the usual amount of crud on the floor to sweep out.

OK guys, here's the full horror as promised :

Now, as regards the negative second derivative of the density function ....

Cheers, Mike.

Praise the chemists that it

Praise the chemists that it washed out. I asked the lady who did it as to whether she professionally cut hair : certainly.

She's a dog groomer ! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) While it is for a good cause, it was still revealing the number of my colleagues who were keen for me to look Full Dork.

I would, but since our little doctor friend is so good at baking my hints I have plans on driving him to the nuthouse this time. Better get your brain warmed up doc. Hehe.

Nice theory, but from what I've read, the universe is expanding (lowering density) and the expansion is accelerating.

Good first try tho.

Second hint in a couple days. If doc gets this one I'm moving to Tibet and becoming a monk.

Challenge for Mr. Hewson DownUnda. If you don't guess this one you have to repeat the hair and add a green racing stripe over the top.
