I have no idea what "challenge" you're talking about. I have not

You think like an arithmetic teacher (which I gather you are): make
every problem be an addition problem. See what I wrote earlier about
strait jacketing rubber room time assumptions.

Right, more evidence of the vast incompetence of your Uncle Sam.
You've provided me with lots of rhetorical ammo to back my contention
that your Uncle is a weak / bankrupt addict, in need of some serious
health care himself. Hardly strong enough to be helping others in
most cases. I think we need to focus on curing your sick Uncle before
we give him more borrowing authority.

Hah hah. The Arithmetic Teacher speaks. This goes back to the
corruption of 1900s "math" texts, especially towards the latter end,
when they refused to bring string operations. Concatenation,
capitalization, lowercasing... these are operations on strings.
Regular expressions. Used all over the place and every day to problem
solve, but the arithmetic teaching union was militant about staying
ignorant and taught no string manipulation whatsoever. Lets see if
Singapore Math stays that dumb, or if it pulls ahead in future
additions, leaving homelander / USA text books in the dust (where they
already are for the most part, where K-12 is concerned -- highly
forgettable turds,mostly).

Your not telling us what you're doing to help with government is the
cop out. Our co-founder Keith was at ground zero when Katrina came
through. He was helping with logistics after Sandy as well. Talking
about our waste interdiction program, which benefits from satellite
services like GPS / GIS.
You sit there in your fat arm chair and do addition problems, other
arithmetic, and call me a cop out. That's rich.

Not your Uncle though, he's not a contender at this time as a
legitimate government. He's too sick and weak, led by DC, a city of
lawyer-morons, to commit heinously stupid mistakes, like bombing the
Chinese embassy in Belgrade (just a random symptom of psychosis).
I think your Uncle is not the legitimate representative of we the
people, but we put up with him, a doddering old geezer, because we're
too busy to start over right now. Got work to do.
Let the geezer (Uncle Sam) take himself seriously, we don't have to
("we" of Cascadia). We aren't begging him for funds, just letting him
know he'd be welcome to join us someday, if he manages to kick some
bad habits. Government is not his forte right now. Too busy being a
basket case.

Right the Havana government. So OK, now maybe we're getting
somewhere. You don't mean Uncle Sam by "government" either.
Something more like "cyberspace"? I call it Cyberia (as do some other
clever souls).

You have numbers to prove that I suppose, some addition problem.
Otherwise you have no business posting your opinion to the math forum
and blah blah. Heh (just joking -- I'm not the stentorian promulgator
of edicts that you are).

Oh, you're irked now are you? I bet you're "irked" quite a bit. Lets
poll your students when we get a chance.
I read ahead and didn't see much of interest, a bunch of lecturing /
berating by some arithmetic teacher with a narrow mind (you should
study more STEM when you have the time, read that hippies saved
physics book, other stuff).
See you in another thread maybe.
