I think it is more a language question than a math one, though. Is it "5 instances, costing 30 each" or "30-cost instances, 5 times". They are the same semantically (there is no "30 instances of a 5-cost thing", which does not map to the problem space), but just with a different order. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
