Um, you didn't say "we you in a room and _add_ deaf people..." Phrased the way you originally phrased it, wouldn't I be including in "deaf people?" I'm not a math geek, and I've never heard of this "oldie," I just thought it was more of logic thing with hex - f to d and back to f, but ??? I could understand it if it spelled something, but including me makes it bb0, no? Is that something hilarious to math prof-types or something? TC, R

TC, R I would still knock you in the head and take your money along with the others. I would be the baddest person in the room. there would be a lot of dead people in the room . All those who woud remove them would also be dead. so , the answer is no one alive. I would leave with yours and theirs money. problem solved
