Maybe Z isn't a Z after all and could therefore be hiding in any number of equations perhaps as an A or an X. Is this possible or even plausible?

Can you believe I just ran the formula and it says you actually have 120,000 posts?

Way back at the Engineering College when we had to use sliderules to do calculations there was a guy who was always a factor 10 off the correct result.
It became Fischers constant - ever heard of that one ?

I did use a slide rule back in the day, but never heard of that one.

Did he just divide all his answers by 10?

Tandy corporation owned Radio Shack. :)

Could it do more than add, subtract, multiply, and divide?
