How much "math" and complex calculus did you study at age 4 when you learned to catch that ball you used to play with?

It was built in to me by the mathematician. The calculus came from somewhere, didn't it? And do you really believe that "trillions raised to millions worth of dynamic interactions of atoms and molecules" is sufficient to do derivatives and integrals, which are obviously getting done in some manner somewhere in that four year old noggin? Why is the notion of a entity engineering itself completely absurd, unless it happens over a few billion years. Time must be sort of a god, I guess.

Couple that won lottery twice wins again

Lucky Wisconsin pair claims four (yes, four) $350,000 jackpots

 

Aug. 22, 2008

A woman and her husband, who claims he's developed a formula for lottery picks, have each claimed $350,000 jackpots.

Twice.

Verlyn and Judith Adamson claimed two $350,000 jackpots on Monday because each held a winning ticket in the state SuperCash drawing last Saturday. They didn't mention at the time that they also held two more of the winning tickets.

But Steven Post, a mathematics professor at Edgewood College in Madison, wasn't buying it. He said there is no way to devise a strategy for finding the winning numbers in a game that uses randomly generated numbers to determine the winning combination.
