Look, if doesn't involve dx/dy I can't even begin to think about it.
Hi,
So this weekend basic math eluded me. So herewith are my instructions for future endeavors.
1.) If you have 24 miniatures and you want to use 3 basic colors for the pants/shirts, then you just paint every third miniature with the current color. Don't...don't break them up into groups of 8 and then paint three out of every group...I know why you thought that would work, but you also knew you'd wind up with 9, 9 and 6 and you still didn't stop.
Advanced hint: If you've got 4 colors, paint every fourth mini. If you have 6, paint every sixth mini. If you've got 24...you're painting an army of circus clowns and you should maybe re-think this project.
Oh! And if you have 8 colors, then yes, paint every eighth mini (but don't paint 2 or 3 in each group of 8).
2.) I know, I know, you're missing the custom rice measuring cup that came with your rice cooker, but the 1/2 cup dry measure seems to be right. Here's the deal. For every scoop, you put in 2 cups of water. If you only put in 3 scoops, you don't put in 12 cups -- that just leads to a mess. If you mean to put in six scoops (and I think you did) then that's fine, but otherwise...
Look, here's the formula -- 1 scoop = 1 full 2-cup measuring cup full of water.
Oh well, except for rice-y water everywhere no harm was done.
