    nope. one in the pocket of my good pants, one setting on top of an old crt monitor that isn't connected to anything, and the one in my computer, and there's one in the microwave i never set, but nope, none on the wall.

    yep, about 1/2 second.

    f(√2i - (eπ)g(√-2)) where:

    f(x) = (√(-37/29) + e)x2 - ((1/e -1)eπ)x + (g(√-2-(π+e)) - (√(-g(-π+√3)) - (∛(g(√7(π√7)-41)(-(13/47)e - (7/π^e)) - 137i))

    g(x) = ((-1/3)i√2)x2 - (√(-1/7) + (41/3)i)x - (πeeπ - (eπ/Φ))

    can you find x in 15 seconds? (or maybe the question is: are you a machine?)

    had a couple, last time i went to the store, all out of them now though, at least until next time, which needs to be real soon.

    a large bottle of lemon or line concentrate, or those little plastic squeeze things that contain the same thing.

    not in 15 seconds. about 15 hours by train maybe. or a picture of it, i could probably find one of those in minuet or two.
    i have a brother in law who lives in hawaii, but i don't know if you can see the ocean from where he lives. probably not.
    i used to have relatives who lived in manhattan, but i think they've pretty much all moved away from there a long time ago.
    well i have lived at different times in both portland and seattle, and for a while in seattle even on a boat.
    neither were right on the ocean, just on lakes and rivers relatively close to where they emptied into it and ocean going ships could get there and often did.
    but totally not where i live now, on the other side of two mountain ranges.

    a forest.

    333ms ...

    now I challenge the bots on this forum to find the slope of the tangent at the point (π-g(e), f(π-g(e))) and produce the equation of the tangent line in less than 15 nanoseconds.

    Well that stopped that game! Lol

    I'm not a bot, but I also couldn't, so nope. Unless it's 7

    no, but i was able to find a few of what I assume (without taking the device apart) are likely SPDT switches.
