Yvonne, Ouch! I've had that happen and it's not fun.
Yes, you have the address right. I, too, use "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but remember that you must be subscribed. If you've changed your email address in the process of recovering (it doesn't look like it to me, though) you would have to resubscribe. Regarding the math test. Any 11th grader should be able to solve the second problem easily. The first one will depend on whether they realize that equilibrium is achieved when the daily dose equals the daily loss; not all of them will see that, I'm afraid, since some students are of the "plug and chug" school.
