Where was Gonz for the proofreading?  Or were the errors deliberate to weed out the mere maths whizzes from the super brains.

I have to admit my mind started to switch off after reading the 5th term in the equation.

I am amazed at people that can read that stuff, let alone calculate it.

No wonder I kept getting a "wrong number dialed" message :rolleyes:


As to the formula, it's not exactly rocket surgery you know :P

:disapp: How disappointing. Why indeed did they not call me to proofread it? Trigometry and integrals shouldn't be that hard, especially with those glaring reducible terms *intended* to reduce to 1 or 0.

1 for trying, 0 for execution.  :head_butt:

PS: I know the young engineer in the picture - nice guy.

You were busy speaking at a conference, somewhere.  :whistler: :snigger:
