This is probably childishly simple, but - as a mathophobe of long standing - I have no idea what it involves. I know that "5 to the power of 5", for example, means...5x5x5x5x5...but what does "5 to...
I've had a hunt around the Internet but can't find what I specifically want. Basically, I am trying to discover whether a 'flute' - slim French loaf - is just a skinny version of a 'baguette' or...

Bearing in mind that I am a total computer/mathematics illiterate, can anyone tell me how to get a program - preferably just by downloading! - that will put a set of items into every conceivable...
As no-one seems to be having any luck with your 'WEANCARE' anagram, I thought it might just be a cryptic clue rather than an anagram. After all, when you first posted this query you did not seem...
Please bear in mind that I am a totally Luddite technophobe, so treat me as the village idiot in any response...Goodness knows, there is little of real interest on TV most evenings, but every now and...
In Microsoft Works, I frequently need to use the Edit/Replace function to make the same set of alterations to texts. At the moment, the only method I know for achieving this is by making the changes...

Today is Day 4 of a spell during which all my attempts - bar three for some bizarre reason - at answering questions have been rejected. This submission is appearing courtesy of Tefler, who is posting...

What on earth have they done to the sequence in which AnswerBank responses appear? Until now, they have - logically enough - appeared in the sequence in which they were posted. Today, I see they are...
Is it just me - in my inimitably hamfisted, computer-illiterate way - or is it the new, improved AnswerBank? I just...at 8 am Thursday... tried, twice, to post a link in answer to a question in the...
Whatever became of the planned investigation into the allegation that the recently compulsorily-retired leader of the Opposition had misused public funds to pay his wife for secretarial duties? Was...
