- Well, it's summer, so it's 4x faster, so it's 4x harder. - nubby Jun 29, 19:55 6
  - disagree. immersion is easier than french one, for instance. -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 29, 20:05 4

  - I still say an automatic extra credit to anyone using a slide rule instead of calculator -- nm - peglegpete Jun 29, 19:57
