I thought the rule was leave.
Hello, storychic, btw.

Well, because it is submersed in a marine environment, I've always called it the Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device.

Well, first check it at the door to see if it's still around, and then leave it there so you fit in. Welcome!

if fforde ever claims to have figured out the answer to life, the universe, and everything, are you going to believe him or adams?

Question and Answer Time with our favorite authors:

{(2B) u (~2B)} = ?

? = 42

=> {(2B) u (~2B)} = 42

Believe it or not, I have always wanted to make that joke!
(OK, ok it's pretty bad.)

I don't know what the little u means.

the u symbol http://members.aol.com/jeff570/union.gif represents the union of two sets... its also sometimes stated as 'or' since if A and B are sets then A U B is the set of everything that is in either A or B.

not to be confused with n http://members.aol.com/jeff570/inter.gif where A n B is the set of everything that is in A and B

incidently {2B U ~2B} = E (the entire set... or everything) not just the question

Hope that helps, although it probably doesn't

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?
