So, these guys run a service whereby you text them a question and for the princely sum of £1, they will send you the answer.  Any question at all, apparently.  Now I suspect that most of the time, they just sit in front of google and find the answer that way.

You know what I'm gonna say.  We need a question, so feindishly difficult that no matter how long they trawl through the interweb, they just won't find the answer.  I'll text it to 'em and let you know the response!

Official response from 82ASK on my question!


"82ASK: Apologies. We are unable to determine what the consequence of the reversal of the riemannian signature would be. No charge for this response."


So all in all - their business model is going well there...

Wonder how many times they're going to get "What will be the winning numbers in the next National Lottery draw?"

Its something to do with space and time and I understand the nobody can predict what the consequence would be and no one is able to try it because it means changing the laws of physics....


Its fun working with consultants who are ex-academics!

Heh - well it just goes to show you should act on it!


 


Someone came to me in 1998 with something called "mp2" and said that "mp3" was on its way and perhaps we could let people download them instead of buying CDs... I said dial up was too slow and it would never catch on... clutz...
