We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

v. TAKE NINE > Take a break. Take coffee, tea, milk or Martini — but also take nine digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.* Make them total 100 by placing arithmetical signs among them. Stumbling blocks, just to make the break longer: Don't alter the order. Do it with the least possible number of signs, using the fewest pen or pencil strokes. ( If you use brackets, count the brackets as one sign but two strokes; a minus sign is one stroke — and one sign, of course; a plus sign is two strokes; a division sign is three strokes.) After you prove your ability to buy the solution at minimum signand-strokc cost, send us the answer and win a copy of Dudenev's "Amusements in Mathematics" — Dover Publications. Inc., N. Y. If you have a copy, say so and we'll provide a different prize. * Take 6 P.M. to midnight, all week. WMAL-TV's audience is the biggest in the Washington market. (ARB Dec. '60) wmal-tv Washington, D.
