I just got a picture in my head of Raven and Hanners working out these equations on the specials board, maybe while Jim looks on in bemusement and Dora wears her Death Pout.

TheEvilDog:
But is Dora completely over her issues? Thats the real point. In physical therapy you never push yourself before you're ready, you end up doing more damage. Its the same here. Is Dora ready to go out with someone? Or is she going to start seeing Jim as every other guy she has gone out with? Is she going to do the same thing with Jim that she did with Marten, to start projecting her issues on him?

As it is, no, I don't think Dora should go out with Jim, even if it is just dinner. She isn't ready for even that yet, in my opinion.

Granted, it's been ummm over 12 years since I've been in a math class, but having tested into Calc II, I'd like to think I still have SOME sort of grasp on it....

The people that brought PEMDAS into this, and believe that you can't move the parentheses around to make the equation work in reverse order clearly failed algebra.

I'm not trying to SADMEP the equation, I'm solving for the input variable, and I already have the output variable, so I need to work the entire equation in reverse - subtract 7 FIRST (instead of adding 7 last), and then divide by 2 (instead of multiplying by 2 first).

Ha!  Totally.  That would be awesome.

What if suddenly...Jim is Hannerdad?

I'm not the first to suggest this, am I?

Where would a famous inventor find time to run a bakery, and why would he?
