For the advanced computation rules Richard cited, Kevin has first to introduce the "LiveCode continuum hypothesis". Perhaps right after the pledge is done? For the moment it is good enough that the integer 8 is followed by aleph zero (A0). Let him a possibility for stepping up, I am willing to accept the LC continuum hypothesis, that is to back one more pledge. But NOT 2^myLastPledge (which would be $340282366920938463463374607431768211456). ======= Richard H. > Yes, I really took a course on that, from the master > himself (Halmos) He was one of the greatest.
