Mike,

Would you care to fill in the blank before "PM EDT" in the first line? A number from 1 to 12 would be helpful.

Thanks,

Efrem

I completely don’t believe #12 but am impressed enough to vote for its author.

I'll go with the geometric definitions, 5 and 6, not because I believe them but because I can at least understand the words in them.
