Helping you be clever...
Several people emailed me to mention that I forgot to post the answer to the filler riddle from Tuesday. It's an old joke that my high school History teacher used to tell over and over again.
The answer is: 9W
The question is: Do you spell your name with a "V" Herr Wagner? (Nein, W).
I was told that Microsoft and Accenture have been using this question during their job interviews. I think it's pretty cute.

My statistics professor at the University of Chicago, Sheldon Patinkin, told the '9W' story every quarter when he derived a solution on the blackbooar. He would solve the problem, then say '9W'--that reminds me of a German musical joke!
By the way, I attend Chicago during the mid-1970s.
