It is like zen buddhist meditation for math nerds.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

None of the answers given can be correct. Perhaps there is a problem with the question?

Heh, the joke is that there is no "correct" answer, so you can't work out a percent chance of getting one.
