"Remember Einsteinium" was a reference to one of the most classically badly-worded questions in league history: "What do Einstein and Wayne Gretzky have in common?" The answer was the number 99 (Einsteinium being the 99th element on the periodic table).You'd have had to do tremendous mental gymnastics to come up with the answer they wanted. It was so vague that "they are both bipeds" would have been a correct answer.The point is that the parameters of what you expect should be included in the question. Otherwise, it's not our fault if we answer a vague question with an answer you don't want, but which is nonetheless correct. Your question was answered correctly, and it is nonetheless denied. Jim
