"Albert Einstein" is correct, but I think you're screwed anyway, about five
different ways...

- You don't learn anything by having someone else do your homework for you
(except possibly that you can sometimes get away with having other people do
things you should do for yourself). For this alone, you should flunk.

- Since you have access to a computer, and computers are really good at
doing arithmetic, you didn't need to ask anyone. Just click Start >
Accessories > Calculator and do the multiplication.

- Even if you don't know how to use a calculator (which probably puts you
into the bottom 1% of your class), you can just ask Google:

- Asking a math question in a forum devoted to questions about Microsoft
Word is about as off-topic as anything could be. How _did_ you get here???

- Why was it necessary to include profanity in your post?

Surely this is a joke! In any case, one of Windows' Accessories is a
calculator.

If it was up to me, I'd fail you for not figuring it out for yourself with a
pencil and paper. And then I'd give you a failing grade for grammar and
spelling. Good thing I'm not your instructor, isn't it?

Are you the pretty lady with the turquoise fingernails?

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Albert,

I don't remember having the pleasure of meeting you but yes, I have been
known to wear turquoise nail polish. And thank you for the compliment - I've
had an absolutely horrid day and you've put a little sunshine in it.

JoAnn -

We met once, hugged just briefly, at the Summit in 2006.
Never will forget your warm smile! Your hubby's a very lucky guy!
My best to both of you!

Here, let me Google that for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=twelve+times+fifty

Now put down the mobile, turn off the X-Box, snuff out that spliff, dump the
lager down the sink, take off that hoody, pull up your pants and do your own
bloody homework!

Cheers!
