Been there i see...
Did you happen to try the Mongolian Duck on a sunny afternoon with a Single Malt Scotch and water chaser ? ?
Unfortunately my visit was cut short when a bunch of ruffians engaged in the local pastime of posing difficult arithmetic and geometric equations to new faces in town.
Ruffian1: I say sir, do you have any spare change equal to the sum of my childrens ages of which none are divisible by three? IF you have sir I will form my body in the shape of a Dodecahedron and recite the powers of 2...
Me: err... I have a quarter...
Ruffian Close Enough! Ouch ouch...
Me: ew... that looks painful.
Ruffian: 2, 4, 8, 16
Ruffian2: I say, are you forcing my good friend Ruffian1 to form himself in he shape of a dodecahedron for the mere pittance of coins adding up to the sum of his childrens ages?
Me: I didn't force him to do anything...
Ruffian3: What's all the commotion over there Ruffian2? I say is Ruffian1 contorting himself into a 12 sided polygon for a mere quarter?
Ruffian1: 32768... Not just any quarter... a quarter that equals the the sum of my childrens ages...
Ruffian 1 and 2: of which none are divisible by three. You've been using that one for over
three years One of your childrens ages had to become divisible by 3 during that time.
Ruffian4: I say hello generous sir if it wouldn't be too much trouble could I trouble you for three thimblefuls of change whose total values are equally spaced out if graphed on logarithmic paper?
It was pure torture. I'll never forget that day. I can still remember when the ambulance arrived for ruffian1:
Ruffian1: Oh dear, I appear to have hurt my back in a number of placed that is one less then the amount of change he has given me divided by 2...
It was horrible...
I'm a real natural at this...
