Well, Einstein did an order of magnitude estimate of the size of the spacetime 'strain' - agreeing with current calculations ~ 10^(-21) - and despaired of detection! This makes a wave detection an astounding technological feat. Now, if at the time he'd known about Foster's ...... :-)
While there's been ~ 60 downloads of the x-word ( go for the gif ), only 5 for the submission sheet .... perhaps people will have a go at it first before deciding if to enter.

Hmmm ... plenty of downloads ( 100+ ) but no entrants!
What, no one likes even virtual Fosters?
Come now, don't be shy - it's not like I'm going to make anyone do a 'walk of shame' or anything! :-)
Right now any entry, even if it has no correct answers, will win! :-)

Cheers, Mike.
NB. Note to self : maybe I should have offered real money?

Your profile indicates thine abode is at Prince Edward Island ( 46 degrees N lat. ), so my deductive powers deduct that it's cold there at the moment. :-)

Oh..I forgot about it!! ..I did half of it then put it down and I haven't had a moment to take another look at it :( It's buried somewhere in this pile of paperwork on my desk!
hmmm...maybe I should set it as homework for my 6th form students...

Good one Es!
I've sent in mine, got most of 'em I think, but there were a bunch of brain-rackers I couldn't get... I think there's a tv show called “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?�, so maybe we can see who's not up to par with 6th form students :)) (Does “grade� = “form� ?)
Seriously, I enjoyed that Mike, whenever I've tried the crossword puzzles in the newspapers I can't even figure out one word, so it was a bit gratifying being able to at least figure out a bunch of the words :)

oops! Sorry about that - I think I got it on the second try, so hopefully the bar is officially set, but not too high tho' since I know I missed some easy ones :)
