If I recall correctly, Paco has a post-graduate degree in mathematics and I'd like to think that I would have needed one myself in order to figure out this problem. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this is something I should have been able to answer without an advanced math degree.

What do you think, Paco? Was this an advanced-level math problem, or have I just forgotten more than I care to admit (as a non-math major)?

I do have a graduate degree in "applied mathematics", but you both figured it out.

When I was age 21 I was hired to teach Calculus to a bunch of high school kids. I remember we got to the Wierstrauss definition of a limit. I figured this is simple, I can explain this to the class. Not one kid got the answer correct on the final.
