@Losati I have a son and daughter who each have mathematical tendencies. I’ve never seen two people gloss over so quickly as when I try to explain my process and the number of steps it takes to achieve the outcome. It’s a true labor of love, but one not easily explained.

Folks, I was diagnosed with an illness in January. Happily I was able to finish work Series 1 2025 but I am unable to continue with anything new for the foreseeable future. I am not closing account because I believe it has good historical value. Thank you for your support.
