    $274.43

    An item that cost $25.70 in 1950 would cost $274.43 in 2019.

    First panel in ASCII: “Gre”. Third panel: “etin”. Or, in hexadecimal: 47, 72, 65; and 65, 74, 69, 6E. Or, in decimal: 71, 114, 101; and 101, 116, 105, 110. I like the front-on view of the second panel.

    Why doesn’t Jason want to build his own? Or, well, build a family computer from parts he has his parents buy? Perhaps in 1999 building computers wasn’t as big…

    Here’s a quick look at what some indexes did in the 10 years before July 1999, though this wouldn’t reflect what day trading was like, I guess.

    Am I seeing this right? It looks like Roger has indeed understood what Paige just said, but it doesn’t matter. He’s going to be proud of his son and route him on regardless. Nothing’s changed; he still loves his son.

    Or maybe I’m just being mushy right now.

    The bubble gum diagram is off, anyways. That’s nowhere near 1.8239 radians. I guess the artistic restriction of sequential animation doesn’t allow for precision in this case, though.

    Actually, the Infinite Monkey Theorem says they’ll almost surely produce Shakespear, not absolutely surely. After all, it is possible they’d all just press “S” for all time.

    I made my own gobbledygooker, that uses sample text to produce a probability table to create skewed semi-random output: http://experiments.pgn674.com/gobbledygooker.html

    As I was doing these, I wondered if Bill writes SAT’s? They all have some elegance to them, making them easy to do in your head quickly if you recognize what he was getting at for each one. The trigonometric and calculus ones got me, though, just because I haven’t done that in a while.

    I’m not sure if I get this one. Is Peter’s face in the last panel supposed to look like something in particular?
