Interesting Math Problem?
Ben's girlfriend has a chastity belt with a combination lock. The instructions say "turn clockwise 2 full turns and stop at a perfect square between 20 and 30, turn counter-clockwise and stop at the cube of 4, turn clockwise and stop at a perfect square between 30 and 40, wait 10 years, get married, then open. What is the combination for the belt?
If that isn't enough to get one interested in math, I give up.

My Review of VICTOR SINCLAIR 55 SERIES CHURCHILL COROJO
Originally submitted at Thompson Cigar
A leathery, full bodied smoke made with Cuban seed Dominican, Brazilian Bahia, and Nicaraguan Ligero filler, wrapped in a flawless Brazilian Galpaou wrapper. Packed in boxes of 20, only serious smokers need apply.
Too mild?
Pros: Price
Cons: Bland flavor
Best Uses: Everyday
Describe Yourself: Aspiring Aficionado
I generally like a mild cigar but this was too mild for me. It just didn't have much character. I had to puff on the cigar almost constantly to keep it going. The corojo was a disappointment after the last VS cigar I tried which was one of the best I've ever had.
