For clarification, the problem is often stated in textbooks similar like this: You ask someone to write one number each on ten pieces of paper without you being able to see the numbers. The person may use any number from 1 to 10^99, but may not use a number twice. The person turns over the ten papers. You goal is to determine the paper with the highest number [rules apply as described in the original post] The general solution is to flip over 1/e papers and choose the paper that has a higher number on it than any of the 1/e papers turned over at first. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.

I just heard something funny on ABC: Interviewer: Is this the kind of bomb the militias like to use? Interviewee: Yes, it's a pipe bomb. Of course, you can find out on the Internet how to make these... (Well, _I thought this was funny.) I hereby volunteer Jim Bell to write the Cyperpunk bomb-making FAQ. Or a more general chemical FAQ including common poisons. Are you up to this task, Jim? :-) --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Terrorist voice recognition
by nobody＠vegas.gateway.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Does anyone else find it odd that the tape of the 911 call, threatening the terrorist bomb at the Olympic Park, still hasn't been released to the media? It would seem that there is at least a possibility that someone could know this person's voice and finger him for the feds... I have a [disturbing, hence anonymous] explanation: The feds figure they have already got a pool of people who can recognise the voice of a pipe-bomber, as sworn courtroom admissions show that the previous pipebombs' burial locations, supposedly known to "the Georgia Militia," were actually only known to a single government informant infiltrator. [The media, for some strange reason, didn't choose to report this little item. The militia case has now been delayed.] Hmmmmmmmm.

Barnes and Noble bookstore will sell you good poison recipes in book form. (I found mine in the bargain section.)
