“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”

Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.

“But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut."

Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down. “So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you’ll all agree that’s a sensible move under the circumstances."

The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.”

I’m not a mathematician but if I recall correctly slope is defined the change in y over the change in x. In your formula solved for x, m would represent the inversion of that, the change in x over the change in y.

yup, slope intercept is the name of the formula. m is the slope of the line and b is still the y intercept.

The cube doesn’t have to be able to take the hit, it just has to not be on that side of the Death Star.

Before I migrated the bots were doing quite well by taking old posts and rewording them into new ones. I only started tracking them when I noticed one posting about a months old event as if it had just happened.
