    I think a lot of our readers may never have had the rather dusty, squeaky joy of working with old style black boards. These may miss the nostalgic appeal of this incredibly overpriced beauty.

    @Comrade GadgetPlay, Fellow Traveler: As someone who spent many hours in detention cleaning those stupid things I am all too familiar with them....


    And, no it's not nostalgic to me nor do I miss them.

    Isn't that watch kind of a catch 22? You have to know math to use it, but if you know math then you'll know not to buy it...

    Please, for the match minded those casio's with the built-in calculator would be the way to go. For $1000 you could buy a ton of them.

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: I actually have one of those dorky calculator watches. I also have one that tells me high and low tides in 59 locations around the world and several other features that I have NO idea how to use.

    And I'd bet you didn't spend over $1,000 on it.

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: I've gone through several Casio Databanks over the years. I think I might even still have one left. Not sure if it still works though.


    It's in a drawer full of other watches I seem to no longer have a need to wear..

    Slap a $ in front of the numbers, and your math gets more better.

    So they couldn't figure out anything for 5?


    I don't get the 10 = ?


    overall, lazy. The "12" and "3" are the same type, the "4" and the "7" are the same type.

    @winshape: Yeah, it's a cool concept but recycling addition and subtraction diminishes the novelty of the concept. Heck, using addition and subtraction alone does that.


    I thought the 10 being "?" was funny if only for it's admitted half-assedness. Then I digressed and began to wonder if it's actually something so awesomely mathematical that I just don't know it.

    @Absent Blue:

    ? and the Mysterians is a band from 1962. There are 10 letters in the word "Mysterians." ?=10.


    My guess is that's what they mean...

    Again, here is how I do math:


    Me wanting to know what time it is + making me do math = broken watch.
