If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe.

I had exactly the same thought this afternoon, until I realized that I needed to multiply everything out by the dilution factor. Then the universe made sense again.

I go into nearly everthing KNOWING it's the universe, and not me.......but I DO have to close the door, when figuring out my dilution factors. There's nothing like converting a quart test of turquoise dye to a 30 gallon batch in your head!

Yeah, that dilution factor thingy has really messed me up before, too.

Oh, wait--you're not talking about mixing drinks, are you?

I'm flashing back to high school chemistry, & in lab, getting a precipitate of 106% of the mass of the original solution. I'm still waiting for my Nobel Prize in Chemistry for reinterpreting the fundamental laws of nature.

Well, it's more likely that was due to either due co-precipitation, or the soild wasn't completely dried out or had formed a hydrate. Or else you were inside a static warp bubble.

Well, it was back during my teen prodigy days, and there was this really tall, thin mysterious guy working with me...
