Your “in” posts are always so clever!

Elemental arithmetic slide . . .

All y'all, thanks for yer comments & curiosity.

SVD, yer projecting too much.

(B3)^3 & C.D.Y., you broke the [obvious] code.

ppd, thanks for the compliment!

The challenge – to the extent one exists at all – is to enter a Q thread as early as possible [of course], and – using elemental arithmetic – land on the smallest possible post # without overshooting it, with a short list of symbols having some modest amusement value.

In < [Pu] + [Ti] - [N]:
I easily landed on post # 104. Plenty of time to type the string before the post count arrived at 109.
If it were a tighter race, I would have typed, "In [Pu] + [Ti] - [N]", so that landing precisely on 109 would also be OK.

SVD, < means less than not lessor than.

When you have to explain the joke, the humor vaporizes.

As a token of appreciation for yer responses, here's something I posted to the first QE2 thread:

Queen Elizabeth II lived for 35,204 days: 4/21/1926 – 9/8/2022.

She died at age 96.3853. That's 98.176% of 98.176 years old, expressing it self-referentially.

We should all live so long, in good health. Well, most of us.
