A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

OK, dude. You seriously need to step away from the computer. You have spent WAY too much time with this. BTW, pretty nice work figuring these out.

Thanks, that is kind of like introducing a crack addict to meth.
There is a good reason I don't have video games in the house, I would never get anything done.
OK, now back to the game....

you guys should try http://www.squakenet.com/computer_games/download.asp?game=746&title=The-Incredible-Machine had it on an old computer long ago. got up to around the 180-190 level out of 250 levels. looks simple, but gets extreme at those levels. I'd sometimes work on one puzzle for days. similar to the game linked above but increasingly difficult. thinking out of the box instead of what you learned in engineering class helps. had a little contest with a know it all contractor/builder who could go thru them faster. he lost. believe he pussed out around 40-50.
