He asked this January second; it is now the EIGHTEENTH!  That is SIXTEEN days
to get the answer.  This is net.math is it not?  I have only one more question,

		Why is it that when simple questions are asked
		on this net there seem to be nearly a thousand
		'GENIUSES', each giving his/her own version of
		the answer, but whenever any resonable problem 
		is asked, it is promptly ignored?
