Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. BillyMac wroteThey're not. It's an inside joke and you appear to be on the outside. My off-topic, off-season, dead-Forum slide rule/shot clock posts were designed to flush out Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., and he took the bait. And I am dang proud that I know how to use a slide rule. I wear it proudly from my belt like a sword. MTD, Sr.
Raymond BillyMac wroteGood question ilyazhito. You're probably one of the few non-science, non-math, non-old timers, who knows that a slide rule doesn't allow for addition and subtraction calculations. Something tells me that Ilya does not fall in the category of "non-math, non-science". Don't know why you're proffering that assumption. 😕

BillyMac BillyMac wrote... that a slide rule doesn't allow for addition and subtraction calculations. But it does add and subtract logarithms, that's how slide rules multiply and divide. Fun's over. BillyMac out.
