Wednesday, 8 July 2009- A Return to a Sense of Normalcy, Plus the Rise of Math Geek
Today was an overall good day. I got the good news that my gift for Paul’s new daughter was received. I took a bus to Silver Spring and had lunch at the Panera there. My internet experience was pretty weak. They only had 3 power outlets and I had come in the middle of the lunch rush. Carolyn suggested that I carry a multiple outlet adapter, so I can share the power. Good idea!
I started a favorite math venture on twitter after drinking a Red Bull at work. It involved using the same five digits: 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 and any combination of operations: + , - , *, / , using associative and distributive properties, to make the digits equal 1, 2, 3…. Consecutively to as high as possible. I got as far as 62. I found it ironic that I was stumped on 63, because of the 7 and the 9. While some twitter followers validated my project, the Savvy Navigator didn’t seem to, LOL. He was glad when I stopped. 
