I posted this earlier, and it's still true

First of all, he said there were 100 monks. He said ten of the hundred had the dots. But even if there had only been 10 monks, if they knew how many had the dots, they would do the math the first day, and kill themselves. If they didn't know how many had the dots, they would go on eating...

It only works if there is one infected. If there is more than one infected, everyone has to know the exact number that are infected for it to work. In both those cases they would kill themselves the first night.

We were not told that the monks knew how many had the dots. This is vital to trying to solve the riddle. Sorry Daniel, it still doesn't make any sense. If they had been informed that there were 10 of them with dots, they all would have seen either 9 or 10 dots the first night. It...

Please explain it to me, because it makes no sense to me as it was told

Expect a positive bias for the rest of 2002. This is the holiday buying season. Commentaries will act like maybe this season will be different from other years. Then when markets go up they will say "well, what do you know, consumer spending bolstered holiday shopping, despite lingering worries...

Whether it's two different colors or five different colors the number of socks you need to pull out is one more than the number of colors. The extra sock is sure to match one of the others.

It's been a week now since SSF started trading. OneChicago didn't get SEC approval until the day before SSF started trading, and their system has been briefly down a couple times. NQLX doesn't seem to have had any problems. Have you traded SSFs? Have you used both exchanges? How did they...

You two should both stop fighting. It's childish on the part of both of you. However, qdz has no professional standing. If he makes false or irresponsible or uninformed statements, or acts childish or petty, so what. He doesn't represent anyone but himself. Def you are on here as a...

I started an account on the virtualstockexchange today. It was interesting, but wasn't possible to daytrade. Took about an hour for market orders to get executed, and confirmed. I ended up buying three times as much as I meant to, because the orders didn't show, so I re-sent them.

Yeah, it's rather more like saying if you're under 5'8" the only meat you're allowed to have is gizzards and pig's feet, three times a week and no more, but if you're over 5'8" you get quadruple portions of steak and ribs every day.

Yes, and assign to each of the top 30 a special title from the Dow Jones Index, like: MacDonald Bright MCD JP Morgan Chasinfla JPM Metooxx Mobil XOM Nitro Paper IP Def Pont DD Aphexcola KO Rthar-Packard HPQ Procter & Gekko PG Philip Darkhorse MO RS7 Comms SBC Daniel-Mart WMT...

MyTrack offers futures. No one allows stock trades on margin for under $2,000. That's because $2,000 is the minimum required by the NASD rules. I don't trade futures. If I were silly enough to decide to trade futures I would use my IB account to do that. They aren't restricted by daytrading...

I went through most of the brokers listed in the broker ratings list on Elite Trader. There were about 8 that would open an account with $2,000. Of course their commissions for options were from $10 to $25. For less than $2,000 I found these: MyTrack www.mytrack.com Minimum deposit is $500...

The Professional Commodities package should be the one you need. The e-mini is a Future, which is a Commodity. The Commodities package should include Globex. You shouldn't need to have the Non-Professional Securities package if you are only trading e-mini. Un-check that box, it will just...

I think most penny stocks did run up in the last six weeks. Any that didn't probably have good reason. Sonus (SONS) was a good one.

I did see a broker that will accept $500 to open a cash account, listed on this site in the ratings section. It was one of the ones that no one had reviewed. I'll have to go through them again to see which one it was.

qdz and def both need to cool off, that's all If we can work together for our common interests we would get past pettiness toward each other on here.
