I suspect that herc has latched onto the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. It is indeed diffcult, and I certainly wouldn't be able to find a factor of the second one by hand. Sylvia.

So you can't run a biology exam style test, you have to have a blind umpire and controls to overcome the subjectiveness of the answers. I have one rule, you MUST be interested in the answer. JR already knows what color his cat is. If he was blind and nobody ever told him his cat's color then sure it would work. Herc

I assure you I don't know the answer and am very interested in it.
