ackanomic Digest Thursday, February 25 1999 Volume: 04 Issue: 054 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JT Subject: Acka: Points conversion Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 10:12:56 -0500 (EST) I am not sure exactly how many points I have since K2's points page is ~3 days out of date. Therefore, I convert 1 point into 50 Mannna. I repeat the above action 99 additional times. (yes, I am fairly sure I have less than 100 points but more than say 20 :) The problem is I don't know what number between those two ranges I have and thus need to do the above. --JT -- [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: Towsner Subject: Acka: Retract 4101 Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 12:12:35 -0500 (EST) Sorry, left out precedence.

Slander! :-) The points page is uptodate except for three transactions: My points conversion P4094 JT's points conversion It hasn't been updated for three days 'cuase nothing happend during those three days; > Therefore, I convert 1 point into 50 Mannna. > I repeat the above action 99 additional times. > > (yes, I am fairly sure I have less than 100 points but more than say 20 :) > The problem is I don't know what number between those two ranges I have > and thus need to do the above.

I've been mostly braindead for the past three days anyway, so didn't realize nothing had occured :) I just didn't want to assume it was 100% correct and thenhave my transfer denied for being too ambiguous 'all my points' or for converting too many :) >It was 73 - unless I've missed somthing; Cool..
