Are you still going on about this? Okay, okay! I take it back! No two snowflakes are alike! Any of my other puns you'd like to demolish . . . ?

Now then Naut. I have ten fingers...and ten toes. Now I just counted them to be sure I knew what I was writing about and I am positive that makes twenty digits.
I cannot go further than that. I 'm blonde. And why would I want to spend days and days rearranging the books on my book shelves. I have better things to do ...Like...Umnnn reading the books!Duh....I think I could be really good friends with your beautiful blonde girlfriend.

The formula makes sense to me as well, showing how incredible math and nature are.

I think they're beautiful, and each snowflake unique.
Just like people.

One day it might be far away a flake will fall
I hope you are the one to find it Naut.
Now can raindrops be the same or are they all different?

I am of the school that one does not require jobs of children that are beyond their ability. You are expecting attention and understanding of materials that are not in our format. I do not need a recipe to make an incredible meal. I do not need a formula to believe there are trillions of snowflakes all different. You see I have such a simplistic plan. God is beyond those great minds and he can do anything. He can work formulas that makes geniuses go as nutty as smart people are going over our inabilities. Slow down it is okay!

Oops....hit my enter key....but I was going to say....Poor, poor, Baby!!! But, no sale! I don't care about facts!! Of course, I have no doubt that you are right that the integers themselves can always be played with on paper to work to whatever. It was that bit about just swallowing things like 15 books fitting a trillion ways on a shelf or whatever..... that is the kind of thing that I just cannot get my mind around....I can't just accept. I start going, what size books, what dimension shelf....you see? To arrange books in my mind immediate means a bunch of differnet size books...I see 15 of them....I see a shelf? But you are right....I know you are....I really am sure you are.....sure.....

It makes sense to me.
When I was little and needed to be punished, my dad would sit me in front of a small bookcase with about twenty books in it and say, "You sit there until you figure out how many ways there are to arrange those books." (Just kidding. What he really did was sit me down at the dining room table with a Bible and say, "Pick out 100 Bible verses and write them in your tablet." It seemed to take just about the same length of time as the rearranging of books.)
