New challenge!
First, lemme say, WOW it's been a long time since I've posted. I feel bad. I've been so busy, I really have. My dad's been in the hospital the last few days having surgery. He's doin' fine now. Anywho, I've got a little challenge for you nerdy people like me out there. Michael, are you paying attention? Good. =)

1 - (-1) = 2
Level 2 Analyst?
Cheers.
Damn it, Steve. You're too quick! I'm gonna have to make these more difficult next time!
ReplyDeleteNo need to guess, it converges to 1, and yes, 2 is the correct answer. No one at work has yet to get it right (and they should all very well know my level by now, you'd think).
So, Kudos to you, Steve!
BTW, no one ever gave the answer to the previous one posted a long time ago:
ReplyDeleteHair-Ripping Fun!
The answer is easy enough to figure out, but no one can show their work!
