I'm in pie land!!
* * *
Thinking that I should get with it, and finally look at Evariste Galois and - eventually -
Lie groups. The underlying problem being the difficulty of solving higher order equations,
and working with groups and transformations instead. Very important for physics...
But then, Bard really impressed me this morning:

Asked for the expansion of (x + 1)^5. Then asked for the root of the long equation.
No problem!!
* * *Just updated Feed Aspen to make it more challenging (Pygame10). The speed of the oncoming bowl
increases every time the player scores. As well, one can play again from the Game Over
screen.
It's a playable game...
