Lost opportunities...
Another nerd snipe, but this one was out of spite. Every now and again I come across a YouTube video that shows a simple algebra problem with a tagline that implies it's impossible. Today's was just a simple equation, just had to solve for 'x'.
```
4^x * 4^x * 4^x = 40
```
So, broke out a bit of paper and Ye Olde Fountain Pen, solved for 'x', then couldn't find the video that made it seem like the solution was special or extremely difficult…
It is July and the best film of the year is still IMHO* Companion.

*The H stands for "humble" (not "honest" though in this case I am) but it actually means that I am arrogant.
