214509 "Joe Parker" <joeparker@s...> 2011‑03‑09 Re: Drove a Nail (bio update)
Ok, it's time for an expert to chime in (Ph.D. Mathematics, Caltech,
1976). "space divided into anything" is the same as "dividing number
of projects by shop space", i.e. (# of Projects)/(shop space). So,
Scott wins unless his number of projects ("anything") is zero. In that
case we enter a whole different realm of mathematics and Scott needs
to get to work!

I'll leave the question of measurement units to the physicists out
there. Joe Parker - a PHooey Doctor, not a Money Doctor Los Gatos, CA

      The rule was projects per shop space, not shop space per projects.
      So you're dividing number of projects by shop space.
