It's probably my my fault if there's been confusion with these threads. I forgot to remove the second one yesterday and now both have continued separately. Sorry!

I've tried to put them together and I hope it all makes sense. Let me know if there are any problems?

Thanks for your patience.

Annebernadette, you made me giggle. It didn't do us much good did it!?

Oh I am not sure about that Butterly. Just try telling a mathematical genius to follow an Arran pattern!

my wife is champion knitter and a i am constantly amazed by what can be made by tying knots in a string with two sticks

It is all to do with the left side brain hemisphere being associated with logic and the right with creativity. Or so they taught us way back in the 70's. I believe that there is some doubt about the veracity of this theory due to much debate between people who happen to posess both right and left brain hemispheres. i.e utter rot (probably)

Oh you two!!!



Arran sewaters are statistically sooooo simple. Just follow the formula

x=(4xb/c)12(cos(ax−bx)−cos(ax+bx))−k2(cos(ax+bx)+cos(ax−bx))=−1

Which can be simplified to:

(1−k)cos(ax−bx)−(1+k)cos(ax+bx)=−2

easy peasy for us menfolk!

(sorry for the thread hijack!)

as long as in the end it feels cos e

No wonder my Arron sweaters always turned out asymetrical. I plum forgot that Euler's formula involves an imaginatory unit. Bother the man

Hi butterfly
I am interested in your query, don't listened to these people they are all mad what the H**l does it matter who is good at maths the question is not answered ?. like you i have noted i work as a nurse and live in the outskirts of Sheffield and when i was diagnosed in 2008 i noticed that we have 3 of us on my street 2 men and me 53yr old woman , 2 men on the next street, 1 man on the street that runs the other side of me and 4 other suffers 2 women and 2 men with in 2 -3 streets from me. and that is not accounting for other patients at the practice I have mentioned this to my PD nurse and will be entering at trial with my consultant soon who is a renound specialist in Sheffield and beyond and I will be mentioning this to him too may be they will investigate this as each of the suffers that i have mentioned do not have the same consultant at the hospital so may be the have not made the connection. if it does show some link i will be the first to let you know the out come and see if you can solve your query

Hi Mommah.
I think it was just all light hearted banter after realising that none of us knows the answer to these questions. I quite enjoy it! We're all a bit mad. Hope it's not PD dementia setting in.
Anyhow, your post was really interesting. I personally feel that both my and (especially) your experiences are not coincidences. I have posted this same question on 'Neurotalk', which is an American site. Would you mind if I copy and paste your post onto that site? There are a few really earnest researchers into the cause of PD, and I'm sure they would be interested in what you had to say in your post. I await your reply. I would also be really interested to hear of the outcome of your trial.
Kind regards, Butterfly.
