Yes: anyone who works for BTCI in their IT department probably could...

Really helpful info..
Thanks Dave

But that would involve research - and that's work!

Real classy sir.
MMM, well being classy you must have class and as such it must mean that you are a drop-in?

Well, drop-outs are actually making the really money! Talk about Gates, talk about Mark!

Quote: In 1882, AmerIcan chess player and puzzle writer Samuel Loyd issued a challenge to the public worth $1,000 (which is $22,727.27 USD today ). Out of several million answers, only two were found to be correct. Give it a try, show how to arrange the seven figures and the eight “dots”—.4.5.6.7.8.9.0.—to add up to 82.
Can anyone figure out the solution?
I will post the solution sometime after 10/21/2014 1:00:00 PM EST if no one has found it by that time.
EDIT: Fixed date
EDIT2:
Solution:
A dot over a number signifies that it is a repeater which would go on for ever, as when we endeavor to describe 1/3 decimally as 0.33333 . . . . (etc). With a series of numbers we place the dot over the first and last, as with 0.97979797979 . . . (etc). The remarkable feature here is that a proper fraction divided by 9s (eg. 46/99) is exactly equal to the numerator with the repeater sign followed by the decimal. So, as per the mathematical truths above, one solution is : 80 + .55.... + .9797.... + .4646.... = 80 + 55/99 + 97/99 + 46/99 = 80 + 198/99 = 82).

As I responded to a Q/A post yesterday...
Sounds like yet another example of the

or

Sorta (I think). I found it in the ACM's XRDS magazine. I did not see the solution (although now that I saw it, I can't figure out how I didn't see it!)

A quick search found it, and I find it unsatisfying, in part because we don't use that notation anymore.

No-one, who learned math after WWII used that notation and most people under 50 never even heard of...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

It has been too long since i have done this but I have the gnawing feeling that the answer will have to do with using a dot on top of the number to signify a repeater (meaning it will go on forever)

Yup.

Having looked up the solution, that's not a notation I have ever heard of, so I'd have had no chance!

We used that notation at school, cannot remember if it was GCSE or A Level though, but I still use it in the very rare occasions I am writing down a repeating decimal.

We used a "r" superscript: 3.33r

We used a dash above the repeating digits. So e.g. for 1 divided by 11 the result looked something like this:

Ok, but first please explain, I can add up figures but how the hell do I add up dots?
|
|
|
|

Googled the answer. I wasn't familiar with that notation so I never would have guessed it.
|
|
|
|
|
956 - 874... Just put the dots in a row so they look like a minus sign.
EDIT: Ok, looked up the answer... That's just silly...

Hate to think how much diesel it burns to power 8 x 11MW engines! Then there is the one liner at the bottom that they want to build a bigger one!
Just think of all the technology and computing involved to maintain the dynamic positioning and synchronising all the cranes as well as all the load sharing in the engines. It is bad enough trying to keep our lot happy in load sharing across the asset.
