Hi Russell,
Touche' (:-)! I am going to claim a typo, on this one.
I will be more careful with my time from here on,
though come to think of it, 3.4 hours maybe
a good estimate on the time I manage to
dedicate to pure platonic contemplation
in a week, sadly...
Thanks for the humorous nit-picking.

24/7 = 3.4285714... Why is this full time? Its a little bigger than Pi
(so a little bigger than a half a turn), maybe a bit more in the state
of Indiana (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi).
I'm jesting with you of course - you must mean 24 (hours) x 7 (days)
(per week), but I ask you, why do you confuse division and
multiplication?
Cheers
