    The physicist says: “Let’s start a fire and place the can inside the flames. It will explode and then we will all be able to eat”.
    “Are you crazy?” says the engineer. “All the corn will burn and scatter, and we’ll have nothing. We should use a metal wire, attach it to a base, push it and crack the can open.”
    “Both of you are wrong!” states the economist. “Where the hell do we find a metal wire in the desert?! The solution is simple: Assume we have a can opener…”
    The good news is the desert coyote enjoyed the corn.

    You just just reminded me of a book I, uh, borrowed from the EES department at FU a decade or so ago.

    I heard the spherical cow lives at the same farm as the point-mass horse.

    Down day to what extent?

    Today's decline was/has been way overdue. No market continues a climb without a small sell-off. Corrections will happen; we've witnessed an obscene gain since the pres election. This was overdue. Could continue some, but there's no negative economic news to warrant a continued decline. Just my .02.

    Complex algorithm that depends on the Super Bowl winner, whether Ricky Fowler wins the Phoenix Open, and how Duke plays today in the Garden.

    I did the opposite, I bought Nike. There will be many pairs of ragged out Nikes, needing replacement, by Wednesday afternoon.

    So, I'm guessing the first part of this algorithm was Pats-friendly?

    I didn't sell a thing...actually was a buyer at about 3:15 when my limits were hit. Small bites...

    I have actually used that book as a secondary text/source of problems. It is useful in breaking an apparently intractable problem into pieces that you can approximate.

    I'm not surprised. The best players shine at crunch time.
