Actually, because multiplication and division are basically the same operation, you do them in order from left to right. So it would be (9 divided by 11) multiplied by 10.

Bad for the glass!

The Scottish police inspector describes a meeting with him. It's borderline, but I'd say he appears.

That's not really true, though. In The Five Orange Pips he says, "I have been beaten four times — three times by men, and once by a woman." (And since he doesn't call her "the woman," maybe he's not even talking about Adler!)

I mostly agree with you (although there have been a few high-profile cases of category shopping, most egregiously My Big Fat Greek Wedding and O Brother Where Art Thou). But there doesn't seem to a consistent rule on screenplays adapted from nonfiction articles.

That doesn't explain why he never gave Watson that perfectly reasonable explanation despite multiple opportunities (among other things).

So if Mycroft was in on it, and could neutralize the snipers … and every other witness was in on it too … then why bother to stage anything? Just for Watson's benefit? Surely Watson could be trusted to be part of the plan too?

It's not that they miss this, it's that they remember the later line in which Sherlock reveals that Mycroft has actually been looking for a way to take down Magnusson legally for a while, suggesting that his earlier statement to Sherlock was just dissembling.

I don't want to admit how right you are.

Seriously? Because they are different names.

I loved how in the golf course episode, they catch the villain after a low-speed golf cart chase when 99 stops suddenly and the villain rear-ends her. When Max praises her brilliant plan, she says, "Oh, I always drive like that!"

No, he faced Inspector Gadget, who had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common with Maxwell Smart ….

And when Adams couldn't film one episode, Dana filled in as "Agent Quigley."

The line I quote all the time is from the episode where a bunch of blonde women are kidnapped. It turns out the villain (an Asian stereotype) is after the Swedish princess. Max asks why he kidnapped the others, to which he replies, "All you Americans look the same to us!"

The only good joke on the FOX revival series was when Kopell turned up as Siegfried and said something like, "I had to go undercover as a doctor on board a cruise ship!"

That was a real thing that happened at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto. It was made into an American movie (or TV special, to be precise) as well: http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

Sometimes people never get corrected on their use of "negative reinforcement," and so they keep misusing the term.

So violent machismo makes you tingle?

His line was, "Lorne, cut to a commercial break so we [him and Jhene] can make love." Pretty standard-issue flirt.
