tdracer, for me to get a Laplace Transform correct
did take a "miracle". To this day I have no idea how I ever passed that part of my Degree Course!!!!!
Maybe I applied the same technique as I did to my one and only rock-climbing effort in 1981 under the watchful eye of a "kindly" RM Instructor - having explained to him that I didn't really "do" heights (tho flying S&L, Inverted, Unusual Attitudes is no problem!!!!! Bring that on!!!!!). It took me 10 minutes to climb 6 ft up a 30 ft cliff - along with a continuous torrent of abuse from the Bootneck up above at the top. The last thing I recall doing was shouting up, "Where can I put my hand next???" which only elicited a further torrent of abuse!
The next thing I recall is being at the top ..... with a VERY startled Bootneck Instructor looking at me thus.....
!
"
H 'n' H, how the fu£& did you manage that? I couldn't even pull the e££ing safety rope in fast enough! If you'd fallen you'd have been a gonner!! Don't you
ever do that sort of thing again!!!". "Staff, I have no e££ing idea how I got here, the last I recall was I was wayyyy down there!". We both looked at each other in silence and then, in a very calm voice but with a dying echo of panic still there, the Bootneck said, "
H 'n' H, if it's OK with you Sunshine, I think we should skip the rest of rock-climbing for you, don't you?". At that point the Bootneck and I were on
exactly the same wavelength!!!!
And, nope, I do not remember the intervening 24 ft (or however many it was)!!!!
