Cool, but have you tried Ruby?

unfortunately executemany doesn't support queries, only operations like inserts (as of 5.0.2)

An interesting dynamic programming problem. I think I've heard you and Melinda mentioning Project Euler, but I never checked it out until I saw this post. And then, of course, I had to solve the problem...

I got 14 out of 15 right on the logic test too, but I disagree with the answer on the one I got wrong. This is the question:

--------
Question 15.
a) Water is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
b) Every observation or examination by microscope has confirmed this.

Conclusion
Therefore we can predict that every future examination of water will reveal the same chemical composition.
-----

I say that this conclusion is valid since by item (a), Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. So therefore every time we examine it, this is what it will be. If it isn't, then either we weren't examining water, or item (a) is false. However, the site says the answer is invalid. Bleh.

Now that you've been stung by a nettle, you have to eat one! Seriously, I hear nettle soup is pretty popular over there (at least in England, not sure about the rest of UK), and it sounds like it would be pretty good - no stinging.

Don't forget to post about your trip to Dunfanaghy.

I liked the pictures - gorgeous country. My folks were in Northern Ireland and Scotland for two weeks, and they just returned about a week and a half ago. Today they were in town, and they showed me some of their pictures. If you haven't already (which you may have since I'm reading this post about a month late and haven't caught up to the latest post - reading oldest to newest), you should get some shots of the giant's causeway. I was shown pictures on a camera-phone, so it wasn't quite the level of detail I was hoping for. I hear another reason to go see the causeway is because it is quite close to the Bushmill's distillery. Also, thanks for putting the link to my site - I probably wouldn't have found your site otherwise (it never occurs to me to ask you in an e-mail - last time I tried I attempted "johnandginger.com" because I knew it was something like that, but I never thought to reverse it - and then I saw it in the Incoming Links section of my Wordpress dashboard). Talk to you on Monday.
