do you mean it doesn't allow you to enter fractions or decimals, or that it effectively rounds the answers at each step?

I don't think it should allow fractions on entry (unless there is a new krypto game that uses fractions), but I thought the software didn't round each partial-step-answer.

Do you have an example that shows it doesn't work? I can fix it if you show me an example.

For others who are wondering what we are even talking about, Krypto is a math/card game, and the instructions advertise that if you think a particular hand can't be solved, you're probably wrong, so I wrote some software to find the hard solutions. I wrote the software 6 years ago, but last I checked, that page was the top hit in google for "krypto solver" and somewhere around 30 people a month use it to solve a hand they are having trouble with.

This comment is completely unrelated to your post but your krypto solver doesn't allow fractions or decimals.

Thanks Rob. We ended up going to Moraine State Park, and there were a couple hills that were okay, so I thought the car was going alright. We've since driven to Wisconsin without incident, though I'm not sure if we saw any hills in that direction.

I can't remember if I already wrote it here or not, but I replaced the fluid because it was smelling pretty badly. The fluid came out black, but no metal pieces to speak of, so I think the transmission is fine.

A long steep stretch is located where you just leave Pittsburgh going North on 279 after the Veterans bridge to link with 79. Although the speed limit is 55, everyone does 65 and the grade is steep. It was the only place where my Honda overheated consistently when we were diagnosing the cooling problems. Maybe testing there during your Tuesday trip to Pittsburgh would not take too much extra time.

Your adventures make me jealous, but your accounting makes me more so. Those numbers might be reasonable for one person in Switzerland . . .

I didn't think to get a picture when he was sleeping, but you can see a picture of it at the top of this page.

i enjoyed reading about all of your cycling adventures. i really need to see a picture of noah's pillow/strap thing! did you snap one of him sleeping on it?

i didn't know there was a trail all the way from pgh to dc, so when you said you were cycling all the way there, i imagined lots of traffic and other logistical issues. this (though not without it's own logistical issues) is much better.

About the Farm: When we asked the tobacco use question (out of character), we were told it goes to other living history museums that need some but don't grow their own.

And the airplanes? If you ask about them, they look at you as if you are crazy, because they neither see nor hear them.

That's cool that the boys could help with the harvest.

And ride Segways!

If the RSS feeds already got the post before we updated it with the Segway adventure, transmission story and costs, you might want to check the article again.
