Oh, you want my ATA help?

Let's see, which series would Bloomberg consider inspiring?

The one about Atlantic City gangsters?
The fantasy about civil war in the seven kingdoms of Westeros?
The one about vampires?



Or the one I've never heard of? :mrgreen:

I'd probably have to ATA also. I've seen commercials for Jenga but never played it.

I was going to comment on the contestnat using a LL on this question, but Jenga must not be as popular as I thought.

It helps to know that you form each level initially with three blocks, with the next level being made by laying the blocks perpendicular to the previous level of blocks. Then, you just have to do the math.

Hey, I bet that series is inspiring to lots of politicians.

Remember, when you play the game of thrones, you win...or you die! :twisted:

I am not familiar at all with Jenga but was tempted to go ahead and answer 18 as that was the only one that 54 is divisible by.

I'm just getting around to transcribing the carryover segment from yesterday and will have it up later tonight.
