This is nitpicky, but in Christian theology the rapture has nothing to do with "good" and "sinner" but the division is between "believer" and "nonbeliever".

And it has nothing to do with a hypothesis -- makes it sound downright scientifical :P

I think "stitch" and "sew" ought to be accepted, since that's literally what it means.

Yup. Tried coffee machine also, along with pasta maker, scooter, Vespa, ice cream machine, spaghetti stacker. I think 'coffee machine' is close enough in this case - given how many other Italian devices it could have been. Especially as Bezerra only improved on the original machine invented by Angelo Moriondo some 15 years before (thank you Wikipedia).

A curious observation about the fully reduced fraction question.

I have two MScs in engineering topics from European universities and was forced to study much more math than I ever cared about. I have never come across the overbar notation meaning indefinite repetition.

Every day is a school day.

I was taught about the overbar notation when I was 8 or so, and then it never came up again.

Nobody else has pointed it out yet that 'Raja' doesn't mean prince in India(There's no Hindustan. Lol). 'Raja' means king.

Google says Hindustani is “a group of mutually intelligible languages and dialects spoken in northwestern India, principally Hindi and Urdu.” The American Heritage Dictionary says “A prince, chief, or ruler in India or the East Indies.

Same as Raia.

In India, a prince of Hindu race ruling a territory, either independently or as a feudatory; a king; a chief: used also as a title of distinction for Hindus in some cases, without reference to sovereignty, as nabob is for Mohammedans.”

IMHO “prince” is correct but “king” should also be accepted.
