Yup, slow day at the office.

Just a hunch... Did everyone else at the office take off early for the holidays?

With his brother-in-law EG Kingsford, he helped develop the first charcoal briquettes. Coal, as you probably know, is a fossil fuel primarily made of carbon. Carbon’s atomic number is 6, again divisible by 3.

The maths are unassailable.

“So you subtract 1 from D, which gives you four numbers all divisible by 3.” Seems legit.

Good of you to weigh in, Rain Man.

You get my daily star, solely based on the fact that you took the time to come up with that and type it out. You need a hobby my friend.
