My brother, the family high achiever , who was achieving while I was getting high (I hate him!), double Ph.D, math prof at MIT, as well as at the University of Vienna, and an internationally known authority, told me minutes ago in no uncertain terms not to bother him about such trivial matters, and that it is patently obvious the result equals two hundred eighty eight. So there, end of discussion!
Most profound and meaningful thing on this thread so far :^)
