<<but gold is not the BEST answer>>

... maybe, or perhaps not, but certainly is one good possibility amongst enough i figure, only time will tell, because gold can be bettered by at least gold mines ;0)

often, for the many, the BEST answer is neither necessary nor advisably to try at home, and so some answers are good enough and easy to put on at home without fuss

during final exam revelation day, while it is nice to have score 100 as a goal, 99, 95, 90, 85 and all numbers in between are acceptable.

the thread is generally busy talking about airplanes, and this just in, using airplane analogy newsweek.com

Paul Wilmott is out to save Wall Street's soul—one dork at a time.

Imagine an aeronautics engineer designing a state-of-the-art jumbo jet. In order for it to fly, the engineer has to rely on the same aerodynamics equation devised by physicists 150 years ago, which is based on Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass times acceleration. Problem is, the engineer can't reconcile his elegant design with the equation. The plane has too much mass and not enough force. But rather than tweak the design to fit the equation, imagine if the engineer does the opposite, and tweaks the equation to fit the design. The plane still looks awesome, and on paper, it flies. The engineer gets paid, the plane gets built, and soon thousands just like it are packed full of people and sent out onto runways. They fly for a while, but eventually, because of that fatal tweak, they all end up crashing.
