Wow. I either suck at math... or something.... That and the link gets cut off no matter what I do.

GAH! Everything I was finding was saying it was 2010 calories for the 24 oz size, so I figured the 20 oz would be 2010 * 20/24 = 1675

I love it!! (I presume "it" is "cardiac failure")

(1690 + 11) ^ 4 = 8371769346801

Where did I go wrong? The calories in the 20 oz shake? The link I found said 1690 for the "Love It" size : http://www.nutrition-charts.com/coldstone-nutrition-facts-calorie-information/

Sounds like Seinfeld's low fat yogurt episode.

We're not sure why the calories don't scale linearly, but there it is...

i tried to approach it like a percentage thing based on the calorie count for 24 oz but no love on that.

Too bad the blog page doesn't update as fast as the main page. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! There's crap at stake!

on the subject of coldstone creamery - am i the only person in the u.s. who's never eaten there?

So where am I wrong:

(1510+12)^4=5366098122256

Never mind... I figured it out..

welp. I guess I get to run 3 browsers now. Time to add Firefox to Chrome to IE.. wonder if I'll need Opera next.

EDIT: installing firefox didn't work either. I'll just have to copy everything including the button and just delete it all out

The text layout wouldn't have been an issue on the old site design...just sayin'...

Yeah, but wouldn't that make it easier for cheaters to guess the URLs?

nah, those XXs were just placeholders for the longer string. hopefully it won't run off...

leave it as is, please... workarounds have been posted.

Have the last 2 products not had an equation or am I missing something? I saw the one about calories and starry night, but haven't seen one since?

not every product will have a calculation/Board of Circuits possibility

Is "Too bad this isn't a Crapschmidt clue ;/" wootspeak for "oh sh** sh** sh** it's not working right why isn't it working right? f*** me"?

If so, I would suggest you switch to just swearing instead of trying to pronounce shasteriskasterisk each time. It'll save you time and saliva.

You are a brave soul, making a string change live...

I feel the need to warn you that if those links are live, and you shorten the url, someone will bruteforce them before their time. I'm sure you've though of this, but figured a repetitive warning is better than a clusterfluffle.

My sad for the night, got to the buy page with a big ol "CC expired" at the top. LIFE RUINED! D;

He meant just remove the http://www portion in the text to hopefully make more of the URL available to read. Otherwise the link is the same.
