March will be harsh if I don't find anything by then.

Can't you do some consulting/repairs on the side until then??

Well, seing as how this is pretty much the only thread here (besides COH) that Adept posts in anymore, it seemed like as good of a place as any.

Anyhow, I didn't mean to stir anything up at all, I was just asking cause I was genuinely interested in how he's been making out.

I can, but the amount I gain is then substracted from UI benefits, which means it's more advantageous to be beating the pavement than it is to work right now.

I don't see the comments Confus-ed made to which you're responding, but rest assured guys that I'm not offended by the questions. Thanks for caring. ;)

Also, it is true that this is pretty much the only thread I'm active in at this time. Even the CoH thread has been "replaced", so to speak. ;)

Which leaves me with these three:

Upending
Unit

But I don't think Utile is a word, so I guess that shoots my whole theory to hell and back.

It is and it's worth another point to you, making this answer worth 2 total.

Question 489 - RESOLVED

Submitted by Deity:

A pair of twins is how many people? (don't forget to explain)

___________
Two. Speaking in the singular, a twin is one person. A pair of twins is like a pair of shoes - one pair consists of two items.

4 people, 2 twins+2 twins=4 persons

Hmmm, me thinks there is some trickery involved here, but I'm thinking its only 2. A pair of twins is 2 people, the person and their twin.

Two ?

Edit: same logic as above & I'm too damned slow !

Question 490 - RESOLVED

Submitted by Deity:

A horse is tied to a five meter rope in front of an old saloon.

Six meters behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking the rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses.

How is this possible?

___________
The other end of the rope is not tied to anything else.

How is this possible?

A) the length of the rope is irrelevenant, its not tied to anything.
B) the horses behind is faceing the saloon, therefore the bale is less than 5 meters away.
C) this horse is smart and can untie ropes (that or it ate it)
D) the horse is tied to the bale of hay.
