Sigh... My cheating cousin - see above - just sent me email with the following closing sentence:

"Yug" is a measure of time, 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years). "Sahastra" is a number, 1000. "Jojan" is a measure of distance, from 4 to 10 miles. Multiplying them does not make a distance, of course. Here is one of their propaganda articles: What is the meaning of line "Yug Shahstra Yojan par Bhanu" which is taken from Hanuman Chalisa?

Can you solve it for line segments instead of circles? I.e., What is the least number of smaller segments that can be fitted inside a mother segment under the following conditions: 1. The smaller segments cannot intersect or be contained inside any other segment besides the mother segment. 2. The lengths of the smaller segments must be N (N<1) times any existing segment inside the mother segment. 3. The system must contain the maximum number of segments of the same length as possible.

How difficult will it be to live with almost 100% dry land?
Genady replied to AlanGomez's topic in Climate Science
The source gives the following "warning" before one reads the details: Pay attention to the last sentence. -
This is encouraging. I will post a textbook for giveaway in the Scientific Education forum and see what happens. Unfortunately, shipping costs from here are not cheap.

I think so as well but would like to hear from the G&MO to be sure. No worries. None of these hurricanes is/was anywhere close to us. No effect on us at all.

I have some heavy weight textbooks that I don't need any more and would be glad to give them away for a cost of shipping. Is it OK to post such information on SFn? If so, where?
