Oh man - I'm sorry.
I told you I'm clerically challenged and make a lot of tpyos.
I came up with 288 and 17, then went to Wolfram and got the same answers (after a number of tpyos). I'm a freakin' artist, not a mathematician (like, surprise, surprise!). I better shut up, huh?
Here's what I have, tpyo free:
I just called a buddy of mine who aced his math SAT and got a degree in astrophysics. I don't know ANYONE who comes close to him in math skills. I read him the equations and he said, You're kidding me! You can't do this? I said, I'm not sure at this point, just gimme the damn numbers. Well, he said, the first one is 288 and...the second one is 17.
I told him about this thread and he said, Yeah, some equations can be written in a way that can cause people to make errors. but there's nothing 'wrong' with the way these two are written.
So I'm stickin' with 288 and 17 and keepin' my dumb mouth shut from here on in.
