Intractable because it could take forever?  Deterministic?  A time
complexity?

Standard deviation, I guess.

What part of your body do you scratch N sniff?

It may be more time-wise to ask "Which part do you not...".

I thought you'd have a favorite part.  After I workout, especially if I
have been in the sun, I like to run my hands through my hair (on my
head) then smell my fingers.  I do not scratch and sniff most of my
body: par exemple, my feet or my derriere and the odor of breasts seems
to escape me.  Do breasts exude their own parfume?  Of course, I quite
agree that everyone who has one would scratch n sniff their "Africa."

Well you did poorly on that question.  Here is question number two.
Have you ever killed your own food?



~~
Dear Dr. Perelman,
Since you have not come out of hiding, the topic of this tread has
shifted to other interesting matters.
May the spirit of Archimedes be with you.
