On the nth day of a week, the maximum number of people he is allowed to hack is n2 + 2, otherwise he goes to jail. During the nth day of the month, the maximum number of computers he can hack is n, otherwise he will be banished (and can no longer hack computers ). Compute the maximum number of computers this elite hack can hack from January 1st (Monday) to the end of the year. How long does it take you ???? Ignore the part about the hacking computers - its just used as an example on the page i got it from.
	Everything is possible, The impossible just takes longer If we do not know what a particle is doing then it is allowed t do everything possible simultaneously. "Anyone who can contemplate Quantum Mechanics without getting dizzy, didn't understand it."
