  1. It was actually Bobby Darin, if that helps. George
  2. Now every mornin', just about dawnin' When the sun began to shine She would rouse up, wake all of them cows up And walk them down to her daddy's mine Took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water Though she weighed 299 The old bridge trembled and disassembled Whoops, dumped her into the foamy brine It cracked like thunder, she went under Blowin' bubbles down the line I'm no swimmer, but were she slimmer
  3. I guess I'm up. Took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water Though she weighed 299 The old bridge trembled and disassembled Whoops, dumped her into the foamy brine George
  4. Okay. The series 1-1/2+1/3-1/4+1/5... is bounded. It approaches ln2 as the number of terms becomes infinite. Prove that 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5... is unbounded, that is, it never approaches a finite number as the number of terms becomes infinite. I know two proofs; there may be more. I'm only asking for one. George
  5. Well, the song is "Hey Jude," but I don't remember the cover. George
  6. Not resonating with me, either. I'm guessing the Waysider's "whipped" was a clue, but I'm not getting it. George
  7. No. I don't think Heatherton was in any of the movies. She was cute, though. George
  8. I'm not sure if you're kidding. Bergen was in Carnal Knowledge but none of the others. George
  9. Fine. State Fair Kitten with a Whip The Pleasure Seekers The Cincinnati Kid The Swinger Murderers' Row C.C. and Company 52 Pick-Up Magic Bye Bye Birdie Newsies The Villain Carnal Knowledge Tommy Grumpy Old Men George
  10. James Madison had that BMI (703 x 122)/(64 x 64) = 20.9 Interestingly, I have seen his weight and height given as 100 lbs and 5'0". That would give a BMI of 19.5. Either way, he was a little guy! George
  11. Took me a while to remember, but it's Double Shot of My Baby's Love. George
  12. So BMI = 703W/H**2. Being thin reduces the numerator. Being tall increases the denominator. Height actually has a greater proportionate effect. A 10% drop in weight (same height) drops the BMI 10%. A 10% increase in height (same weight) drops the BMI 21%. Unfortunately, almost half of the presidents were 6"0" or taller. Clearly, we can rule out Taft and Trump. I'll try George H. Bush. George
  13. William Atherton Real Genius Jon Gries George
  14. I think I answered most of these when I gave a similar clue. Abe Lincoln James Madison William Taft James Madison (again) I'm tempted to say Taft again, but a shorter, lighter President may have had a lower BMI. Coolidge? This might be Lincoln again. He was pretty lanky. George
  15. David Harbour Violent Night John Leguizamo George
  16. Bill Miller Bill Baker Al Crowthers Larry Todd Joe Anthony Rick Todd George
