This is for those of us a bit more mathematically inclined.
Find a simpler way to write the following expression: (x - a)(x - b)(x - c) ... (x - z) Should take more thought than pencil work . . .

I think that's cheating, so I'll let someone else give a guess. I really didn't understand the answer though (mathematically inept here). Okay. I re-read the solution and I understand it.

Same here. I'm a whizz with maths but it stumped me so I looked it up (Lord Shield turns away shamefaced)

When you write it out . . . (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) . . . and then start up again at (x-x)(x-y)(x-z) it's pretty obvious that x-x=0 and thus any number(s) multiplied by zero = zero. Great job catzenpewters. Maybe my brain will work better on the riddle you offer.  ------------------ Most Subtle Official Straightman of the Laughing Hyenas -- Grammarian Brigade. |
