> Make the math use bigger numbers. Also, add redundancy so that if something is read out wrong then there is guaranteed to be no match. Error-correcting codes have been around for centuries (well, almost). Simplest way to do this is to

> If we were talking about 1 restaurant, or even 100, that would mean that 1 in 4,096 orders (or 1 every 40 days) are getting swapped due to this efficiency. Not really. For swapping to occur, two orders have to be sitting there at the s

If you really think that those guys are extremists, then you haven't seen nothing yet. Take a peek over to Italian politics and you get a glimpse of what could be coming. Or Israel.

I tend to do important things in the second half of the month. That way, you don't get an ambiguous 10/09/22 but a less ambiguous 10/17/22. Everybody still needs to be aware which year we are talking about, but you
