“You have qualified for Second Prize”

Thank you sir.My ex-wife wishes to know the meaning of “qualified” since the prize is a trip for three.

“Thanks!”

Not at all. Thank YOU for posting.

I've been fascinated with Nucleotides and Tsunamis since I was a small boy in Western Finland.

This diagram works for most people, but not for folks with Down's Syndrome and a few other conditions. F is for father, M for mother; each of us has up to 64 great-great-great-great-grandcestors; no more than 46 of them has had even one chromosome pair reach you; even with the occasional crossing stream, there's no more than 46, and with crossing streams, could be less.

For those who don't know, this doesn't mean the other 18 (and all of their ancestors, plus half of the ancestors of the 46) are not your ancestors -- DUH! IOW, just because the chromosomes don't make it through, doesn't mean that Oetzi (for example) has no living descendants.
