Ooh. That's pretty neat. It took me a few times to notice something that cleared it all up. Pretty cool! I'll have to remember to pass this on to a few people.

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!

I still can't figure out the trick behind it. I know it's a math thing but I'm no good at math. =/

Through the magic of simple algebra, all will be revealed. Everyone please observe, I have nothing up my sleeve.

Let a and b represent the respective 10's and 1's digits of a two-digit decimal number.....etc. etc. etc.........SHAZAM!

Behold, the truth.
