That is! I have a birthday coming up.

Thanks Sarah.

Re: Birthday page for members
hi everybody,
I think I've got a theorem here:
Cannot get a 'complement' bar over my set on the same line as the phi.

hi bob
why not just use \frac ?

Re: Birthday page for members
hi Stefy,
I was try to express the following
The complement of the set {people who have a birthday coming up} = phi = empty set.
You'll notice I was trying to inject some maths into the thread; sorry Sarah Rebekah. 
btw Mine's in January.
So I wanted to get a bar over the whole of the set ... tried \bar (put the bar over the letter 'b' in the middle!) and \over (which is how I left it) but then the phi became the top of the fraction. ggrrr! so I put it into two separate lines.
Any suggestions?
Bob

Re: Birthday page for members
I think of it like this-every level of information I give out is a step closer to me. But, I am sure that if you searched through my posts you could find my birth date.

How can we get them to do that? Seems impossible.

Re: Birthday page for members
Nobody will be made into that. Thus the use of "volunteer".

Hi anonimnystefy;
Maybe about 5 members would go back and fill in their birthdate. That is probably not enough.

I think it would be more,but you wouldn't be one of them.

Hi;
Yes, you could. But who could solve it? I am still having major problems.

Re: Birthday page for members

Somewhere in the multiverse I have solved it. In fact I did it five years before it was set!
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to communicate with any of the infinite number of other selves that exist in all these universes so I am unable to profit from this information in this universe.
The really annoying thing is: in at least one of those universes a 'Bob' has worked out how to communicate across universes. Why isn't he doing so?

Re: Birthday page for members
Now, that's jolly interesting! It could very well explain the odd feeling I got when the person who solved my puzzle communicated their M solution to me. It seemed that they knew 'my' puzzle better than I did: that they might even be its original author, and that I, in this universe, am merely a subsequent author. 
I may, then, have received a surreptitious www visit from another me! If we're a replication or a parallel existence of another life in some other universe within a multiverse, I'd draw the conclusion that one day I'll know much more M than I do now!!
