Re: What comes next in this sequence?Hi Jane; In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. #3 2010-03-06 08:53:23#5 2010-03-10 12:42:42

Re: What comes next in this sequence?Hi theoldbrewer,
Type this example, but leave out the space after the first bracket (I had to include the space so that my example wouldn't be hidden): "The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do." - Ted Nelson #8 2010-03-16 10:16:55
