Ahh.
I wasn't thinking about stranded wire, in fact I never refer to stranded wires in that way.
I'd say:
7/32 AWG 10/34 AWG 19/36 AWG 41/40 AWGrather than just "24AWG".
It pays to be specific when instructing a wireman ;-(

No, the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything" is 42.
If that doesn't make sense to you, it's because you don't understand the question. The question is "What is six times nine?"
The only way any of this works out is if '42' is in base 13. (4*13+2=6*9)

--- No, the distal phalanges of my fingers and toes, plus one other appendage. ;)
Interestingly, Indians from India count on their fingers using all of their phalanges in sequence, like this:
Proximal Phalange Intermediate Phalange Distal Phalange
--------------------------------+-----------------------+-------------- Little Finger 1 2 3 Ring Finger 4 5 6 Middle Finger 7 8 9 Index Finger 10 11 12
So, by using both hands, they can count up to 144 on their fingers.

I'd bet all hold degrees that are more than ten years old, and come from educational paradigms that are a far cry from what takes place in today's classrooms.
Kids these days are lucky. What should really happen is that they all get forced to use a slide rule for the entire first year of secondary school. Get a feel for the numbers, as it were.
I only get 38, and that included using the metacarpals. 19 each hand.
