Sadly, Douglas Adams never realized that he was sooo right.

The median number of registered teams is 41.5, which rounds up to 42

I am delighted with this thread, given the team I coach is the Hitchhikers.

Given the fondness of some in this thread, I will give you a number challenge I give my CS students. It is the four 4s. If you take the challenge, you will come up with 100 equations. Each equation can only use the numeral 4 and must use it exactly four times. You are free to use whatever operators you like. I will give you one such equation for free: "16 = 4 + 4 + 4 +4", only 99 more to go.

A solution might be found on the web, but that is no fun.

I will be glad to offer encouragement/hints as you desire, since when the dust settles, what remains is that I am a teacher.

Hm, pretty cool. :) I think I will wait, I already have too much to do!

Wow, you guys really thought this out.

You have a LOT of time on your hands... if you happen to have any extra time to spare... give some to me.. I'm running out. :D

I can't think of any others off hand, and I need to go to bed.

PS: Almost have the hotel res. for Richmond setup, waiting on a few more of the volinteers to get their money to me (you know who you are.. hurry up!). The Franklin Crew of Volinteers are on their way. WOOT!
