Well I am beginning not to care if everyone is alike. I suppose snowballs are not the same?

Geez, what have I done? I haven't seen that many math equations since high school, many, many moons ago! 
Well, even though I was just trying to make a pun, I still say that, regardless of the infinite numbers, there's got to be at least two snowflakes out there that are alike! Now, should we get started on something like sea shells . . . ?

I got lost our Naut. when you wrote 2x3x1=6...If the x1 doen't mean anything...then why do mathematicians confuse this poor little old blonde by putting it there.
Anyway it is a snow day today but I am NOT going out to test anyone's theory.
No Not kabu she loves it.

It is impressive how complex something so tiny of a snowflake can be.

I'm leaving the numbers game to you logical guys with affinity for
mathy things. I'll stick to my own way of arranging books - on writing how-to, on writer psych, by & about writers, etc., in alpha order by author name. Fiction, same thing. Non-fiction, pretty much the same except history I'm researching is in its own area - WWII, the old west, founding fathers, women's rights... I'm sure you're right - there's an infinite range of possibility. All I know for sure, is I can never quite put my hand on the one I need when the impulse strikes.

Well, here is why I simply cannot follow these "numbers" conversations....and I'm at the age I'll step right up and show my ignorance with no shame. I get lost in the numbers, you see....I don't just accept it. I'm back there at 15 books....explain to me what you mean by "arrange".....because I've never seen any bookshelf that 15 books could be "arranged" so many ways......and I've arranged a lot of books on a lot of bookshelves.
So, sorry, Naut, that boat just don't float!!....I'm not from Missouri but numbers just don't make sense to me when they aren't tied to something that.....well, doesn't make sense! And I've simply got a bone deep cynicism about numbers thrown around to support ideas. Obstinate wench with mental block about math=Krisles
