Did you biff in at 750 then? Seriously though, I would agree with you. A guy at our DZ is recovering in hospital after hooking a crossfire in at 720 jumps. However, I don't know who is going to be responsible for enforcing this stuff. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

From Sky News It's Finger-Licking Good! Hedgehog carbonara, badger sandwiches and even labrador are meat and drink for Arthur Boyt. The retired civil servant from Cornwall has spent a lifetime eating roadkill animals. He is so keen to share his enthusiam for the delights of weasel, fox, sparrow and - more conventionally - pigeon and deer, that he has written a cookbook. Mr Boyt, 66, says his recipes are perfectly safe as long as the creatures are skinned and cooked properly and he has never been ill. "It's good meat for free and I know nobody has been messing with it and feeding it hormones," he insists. "It adds to the pleasure of a meal to know I haven't paid for it." Mr Boyt says he can use virtually all of any whole animal he finds in the countryside near his Davidstow home. Most go into casseroles which cook for a long time and tenderises the meat. As for the labrador - it was said to taste like lamb. The dog had no collar or identification so Mr Boyt could not trace the owners. So he ate it. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

The significance is irrelevant. It scares the poor kids. You underestimate the psychic strength of kids. In that case why do we not permit them to watch certain movies, play certain games and see certain images? If they have such psychic strength it shouldn't be a problem. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Now, your original post deserves to stay. It's just the 1000's of posts that have nothing to do with your original post that irk me. The posts that contribute nothing but to add another post onto an already humongous thread. It will keep getting re-activated and not because people care one bit about God and being a christian. No, it will get posted to again just to see if it can reach the 5000 post mark. It has outgrown it's usefulness, lost it's cause and is now a tribute to internet tripe. As to finding the cross and Jesus offensive, for me that would be like finding a 12 volt battery charger offensive. However, why kids in schools in Bavaria should be forced to see a man nailed to a cross during their biology lessons is beyond me. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

If you mean I am not like the rest of them here, you're right. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

forget that , it's the wrong answer Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

You can always do the same calculation for 8 pirates

Ahhh! acceptance from the great rl The only person who made any sense on wreck dot. Do you still go there my dear. During my last visits I noticed that at least an amazing 10% of the topics were to do with skydiving. Guess what? They don't have a "I am a Christian...and proud of it!!!" either. Not yet Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I would actually prefer your solution John, Just shoot it's brains out with my gun. I have a right to defend my eyes from threads with high reply numbers Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Exactly! That's why I am asking everyone elses opinion Some people Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Sorry, but 15621 divided by 8 does not leave 1 left over for the . Try again. See this solution http://www.puzzle.dse.nl/teasers/coconut_chaos_us.html Ahhh, but your answer is for 5 sailors, but here we have 8 pirates. I solved the problem anyway. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Ok. Let's works backwards. 9/8 = 1 each plus 1 for the Then we have 9 * 8 + 1 = 73 (last pirate) Then we have 73 * 8 + 1 = 585 (7th pirate) Then we have 585 * 8 + 1 = 4681 (6th pirate) Then we have 4681 * 8 + 1 = 37449 (5th pirate) Then we have 37449 * 8 + 1 = 299593 (4th pirate) Then we have 299593 * 8 + 1 = 2396745 (3rd pirate) Then we have 2396745 * 8 + 1 = 19173961 (2nd pirate) Then we have 19173961 * 8 + 1 = 153391689 (1st pirate) So the smallest number they could have started with is 153391689

Does the above make any sense to anyone? I mean does cut and paste without the loaded character set work? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

134,217,720 Sorry, but 134,217,720 divided by 8 does not leave 1 left over for the . Try again Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

A decision must be made. It time to see where the people stand.

So what! You still don't know how many coconuts they started with do you? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Is this what you're refering to: 5 sailors are shipwrecked on a deserted island. All they have to eat are coconuts, and they decide to divide them evenly tomorrow. They pile up all the coconuts in one big pile to sit overnight. That night, the first sailor wakes up and decides to take his share. He divides the coconuts into 5 equal piles, and has one left over which he throws to the monkey. He hides his pile, and puts back together the remaining 4 piles. Later that night, the second sailor wakes, makes 5 piles, again has one left over for the monkey and again hides his 'share'. In the course of the night each of the 5 sailors does this. So each has hidden some coconuts and the monkey has hidden five. The next morning, they divide the non-hidden coconuts into 5 piles but this time there are no extras for the monkey. How many coconuts were there? Yeah, thats the one! It's in another thread though, "Zenos Paradox." BTW , Paradox is documentation for skydivers

Anyone with more posts than jumps is suspect anyway. But I'll let you off if you tell me how many coconuts the pirate started of with.

are the drawn marbles returned to the bag or not? Look, just forget the marbles, the coconut problem is the real killer. Now how many did the pirates start with? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Why is everyone being so picky? First my math, then my spelling How many coconuts did they start with?
