And “how old are you”... wait... hmm.. How old are those rules?
Thank you!!! And anyone asking about age (maturity) is about the same as asking race (race-bate)..
I feel so much better with the original rules backing me :)
BUT, I give up on explaining them... some just don’t listen (maybe age IS a factor)... but being that this appears to be a more sociable crowd than say, Religion or ‘Civil’ war threads... I spent my time having a conversation :)
Take care and stay safe :)

Ah yes, sometimes FR does get mean even over the trivial. I'm 61, and find that the young ones don't know anything at all about statesmanship or just ordinary manners.
I hate numerical work on computers since floating point is somewhat ill-behaved. The proper thing to do is to demand clarification of intent from the person originating the problem.
It would appear that there are two teams of firmware authors at TI; and, two understandings of parsing alegebra ... just like at FR. If they think the TI calculators are goofy, they should compare some of the Casios. HP probably makes the only decent calculator these days. I have noticed that much nicer calculators are available in Europe. That probably means we acheived third world status a few years ago.
Take care of yourself as well.
