Gabe Menezes, Goanet never fails to amaze me. I am always entertained when people choose to turn into contortionist, trying to worm out of a situation, instead of accepting responsibility for their occasional mistrakes. Yet others, to my bewilderment, publicly ask on the forum why no one is pointing out the blunders they repeatedly make. Now for the mater in hand, here is my original post: "To end this on a positive note, here is a video of the Christmas Tree Party at the DI, circa 1967. 1967 folks. The kids in this video are 45 years older today." I accept that people here will have difficulty comprehending English. I also understand that a lot of people have difficulty with any number other than 1961. However, anyone who has a Standard Four or above proficiency in the English language and math, has understood that no kid in the Xmas video can be 46 years older today. Here is the math: 1967 + 46 = 2013 We are in the month of October. The video was shot during December - the Christmas period - of 1967. There are still two months to go to the December Christmas period of this year. In other words, the kids in the Xmas video are 45 years and ten months older today. Your calculation of 46 years is incorrect. I could have, like I often do, let your opinions slide. It is more difficult to let your math slide. It is even more difficult to let your math slide when I know that a few years ago you would have been on top of your game. You would never have made a two month blunder. After all, you dealt with money markets and instruments with maturity dates. The all important maturity date. Everyone here who has dealt with a money market instrument knows that s/he will be subjected to a penalty if she tries to cash in two months before maturity. I hope this helps in illustrating your math error. Mervyn53Lobo
