And there I sit once more atop the Gaussian curve. I have to keep reminding myself that I need to give the right answers instead of the “right” answers. Ahhh. Thanks Dolly, so much. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Gotta assume that there was some dyscalclia(?) involved as there seems to be a 35. I think it’s more likely that Rand did like Elendil’s Heir. Not knowing any Texas interstates, they used the number that Rebo gave as an example without realizing she made it up. ---
