Suda, you're up! George

With all the hot babes there (including, of course, my lovely wife), I'm gonna notice dust on a fridge? :lol: George

Tom, tell her! :) George

I suppose that would explain the "car in a tree" line.... George

Another hint: "Anna" = "in a" George

Remember, Suda, I try to break words in a different place from where they really are. For instance, instead of using "I spy" I would use "ice pie." So "A Teds" is really...? George

I wasn't waiting. I just don't recognize the movie. :( George

It's one of the Moriarty in the Holodeck episodes. The first, I believe. I think it was called "Elementary, My Dear Data." George

SOMEBODY name this movie!!! George

Of Unknown Origin Peter Weller Robocop George

I KNOW I've heard that last exchange! Now..WHERE? George

Could it be NG "The Measure of a Man"? George

Happy Birthday, Tonto! I look forward to seeing you and "Mr. T" at the BBQ! Have a wonderful day. George

Your original puzzle shows up fine on my home computer, just not at work. That happens sometimes, for reasons I don't understand. George

I can't even place the SERIES... :( George

I'm sorry. I just don't understand the answer you gave. The problem doesn't say anything about the size wrench that is used, so why assume it to be one foot? I guess it doesn't matter as long as you don't confuse torque (ft-lbs) with force (lbs). Force X circumference will be the same, because if you increase the wrench length by a certain fraction, you will reduce the amount of force by the same fraction (i.e., the torque remains the same). The answer, though, doesn't seem to be in units of pressure, but rather of force. Could you give the solution with all units included? George

Pretty darn cool, Ex! Maybe we can talk about it at the Pig Roast. You ARE planning to come, right? George

Just for you, my favorite dish -- gnocchi! Happy birthday, friend! George

I sure hope I haven't seen this one. It sounds pretty funny. Just for the heck of it, I'll guess "Fawlty Towers." George

Apparently, the first picture isn't appearing for me, but I was able to get it from the rest. I will politely refrain from answering for a time, hoping that another will jump in. George

Good job, Suda! You're up. George

I'm not sure how much help I'll be here, but I do know a few things. The distance from the pivot point is the radius, not the diameter. For example, if a fifty-pound boy on a see-saw sits five feet from the fulcrum, he's exerting 250 foot-pounds of torque. If I tighten a nut with a two-foot torque wrench, I have to use twenty pounds of force to generate 40 ft-lb of torque. What does the "3/4" signify? Is that the radius of the bolt head? I'm probably off here, but the total FORCE acting on the bolt by the head would be the torque divided by the pivot radius. 40 ft-lb = 480 in-lb 480 in-lb/(3/4 in) = 640 lb (Twice this, if the bolt radius is 3/8") The pressure will be the force divided by the area it's acting on. I don't know if this involves the number of threads or is simply the area of the bolt head. I hope this helps. George

Tonto's got nothing to worry about in that regard! Nor do you, for that matter. Unless, of course, you put on a tiara and waltz around! George

I'll certainly keep your sister in my prayers, Raf. I've personally known two people with ALS, and it's frightening. I pray that your sister will be an exception. I imagine that, after an initial flurry of updates, there won't be much to report for long periods of time. Do keep us informed, though. If nothing else, your bumping the thread occasionally will help remind me to pray. George
