Part of the problem was bad communication (by Nik to us). This was an
enrichment assignment, not a mandatory one. And only some of the kids got
it, it wasn't intended to actually be solved... (I know this now because Jo

Ya, good point.
My concern arose when I heard that enterprising young schoolyard capitalists
were selling answers. Nik now has what is needed to flood the market and
commoditise it! :-) JD and Dan, can you take payment in squashed candybars
and small change? :-)

Face it. LUGNET(tm) readers, AND their kids, are just smarter than average.
The sooner the rest of the world comes to grips with that, the better... :-)
