C: 44 divides nicely by 4 so nuumber is easy
D: i divided them in tranches* of 11

F: er wait...
G: let the others see if they can see the mistake b4 one and indeed all point and indeed indeed larf non-stop at me!!


*it means slice! i have used it for years! a tranche of PIE please! shut up!
dubdobdee: (master)
syzygy: from the Greek participle sun and verb zugein, meaning two entities linked together while maintaining their separate existence... "get me rewrite!" :D

its astronomical meaning -- which i actually sort of knew* -- is a bit different and more specialised: but a.cockburn just used it as a joking way to link opposed squads of paranoid obsessives, viz truth3rs and b!rthers, as a combined shaping force in current US politics

*the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a straight line: i knew it (tho had forgot) bcz it's the name of a 1973 SF novel by Michael G. Coney, which I read but didn't much like in the mid-70s...
