Didn't understand a bit of that, I don't have the proper education. But I do have a question.

In the example(s?) given I only saw the plus sign. I assume it can be done with subtraction, but what about other stuff like multiplication and division? Maybe at some point it can be extended beyond basic algebra? I mean basic algebra in terms of the problem equation, not the calculation of the solution.

Coincidence! That study was an example in an article I read earlier today.

[QUOTE=ewmayer;308965]Despite Uncwilly's hopeful emoticon, I've yet to find anything in beer which approaches the above in terms of "buzz per buck" value. [/QUOTE]Wouldn't know, have the gene and don't need the trouble. Find it best to not tempt the issue.
