    Your invention can be used to generate electricity! It’s even better than W Bush’s hydrogen economy. Alright, you can power a car with hydrogen and then use water to make more hydrogen, but plugging in your computer into one of the empty outlets is even less complicated. Tell that to Gov Perry, I’m sure he’ll be enthusiastic about one more reason to close the EPA and give out cheap college degrees, no studying required.

    This looks like a “solution without words” to an AIME problem above shared divisors.
