desperanceOh look, I have a quote of the day. It comes courtesy of Simon Singh, of whom we approve, and it is this:
You can work out the pancake number for various numbers of pancakes, and the number for 19 pancakes is 22. That's my number of the year because mathematicians have not been able to calculate the pancake number for 20 pancakes.
By the way, the only research paper that Bill Gates ever wrote was on the subject of pancake numbers.
