Comment on Bằc — Restaurant Review by Laura Chryst

Hi — that was a very nice and well written review. I have not been yet but am looking forward to what sounds like a great dining experience. I would like to clarify one mistake you have in your review. It is in reference to the assumption that Bac himself chose the decor and created the atmosphere. You may be unaware of this but, Bac has a partner whose family did much of the interior work. While Bac’s family is solely responsible for the kitchen, my good friend Karen Privitera did most, if not all, of the interior design. Her brother, Mike, did most of the labor, including building the beautifully well crafted bar. (while I haven’t been to Bac since it opened, I did visit several times during the construction process just to see how things were coming together).

To correct a false assumption– Bac is not the person responsible for the interior design.

Good luck! I’ve always hated stats… wrong kind of math brain. There’s a part of me that gets stuck– when a question asks what are the chances of a 6 sided di (die?) landing on 4 I KNOW the answer is supposed to be 1 in 6. I WANT to answer: either 100% or 0%. Like Schrodinger’s di or something.

Comment on How to Play Double Bid Euchre Part I: Basic Gameplay by dave

by 'calls out' do you mean leads ? I can't think of any instances where you would not play your worst (ie an ace in low no trump) when your partner already has the trick. In high and low no trump especially there is a concept of the 'stopper'. Many times the bidder has one big suit, say 6 or more of a suit beginning with, say, 9/9/10 in low. They hope to play thethe 9/9/10 to clear out the other low cards, then play all their higher ones. If you have say A/A/K/10 you can stop them at 3 tricks by playing the higher cards first, saving your 10. Also, if you are the person with that bid, it is wise to have stoppers in the other suits, so even if you get 'stopped' in your main suit you can get back to it. Or pray that your partner saved his 'stoppers'. One way to do this is when you are out of the suit played, discard cards in the suit(s) where you have no potential stoppers, and save all the cards in the suit (like that A/A/K/10 .....) for later use. Your partner will appreciate it.

Comment on Infinity Equals Zero by Alex

After thinking about this concept another idea come to mind. If you take 1 and devide that by 1/2 you get 1/2. If you divide 1 by 1/4 you get 1/4. If the fractions were to keep going allthough you would never get to zero you would have an increacingly large denominator. But getting to zero would be something like tangents in triganometry it would “blow up” hence infinity being zero. You may find fallacies in my thinking but remember im in 8th grade.
