Ahh, now I understand...
this isn't a discussion about solutions to problems, this your chance to 
prove that you were "right all along" and "obviously more intelligent".
Okay, you win.
I hereby publicly admit that Mr. Woods is smarter than I will ever be, and 
understands my problem better than I do.  That I (in my minute and childlike 
understanding) will never be able to solve this problem in a meaningful 
manner, and that I should change the problem to suit Mr. Woods' solution.
Oh, and that my gonads are smaller too...
