Re: DOB in pi puzzle
I downloaded win.zip version 0.942 some time back, and the link was probably like your first one, but with the old numbers.
I updated a few days ago to the current version (0.953).

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
Hi;
Using your link in Wikipedia I found the homepage and used there link there.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
You should also click on the "Documentation (WIKI)" link on the QB64 page and download the "Offline Reference" Wiki docs.
On that same download page there's a link to the QB64 forum and apparently further downloads...but I haven't checked that out yet.

Okay, thanks. Looks like they have beefed it up considerably.

I like the fact that QB64 has thriving, current forum support and frequent updates.

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
I had no idea it was still active and developing. The last I used was QB 7.1, that was made a long, long, time ago. I thought the language was dead.

It came out about 1991, I think. See you later and sleep well.

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
You mean phrontister? If I remember there were two parts of the problem. The first one I did okay. The second part I wanted a neat mathematical method for. I never found one...

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
No,he wanted to do something when he has more tine,but said he would probably forget by then. I just reminded him,so he can do what he wanted if he still does and if he has time.

Re: DOB in pi puzzle
He wanted to know how to do it in M. I remember offering to teach him how. We just never got around to it.
I am not sure how much time it would take to go
Excel -> LB -> QB -> M

I know, I am just talking about it. Learning M is a little scary.

M has pretty strict rules. Everything is with cap letters and square brackets.
Speakimg of which-my trial has ended.
