Thanks for the comment, Zeke. And thanks for the information on laser levels ages ago, which I posted last week. If you still have those images (the url's from the original email didn't work) I'd love to include them in that post! Stephanie I like it — a formula for evaluation of explanations.

(ease of understanding)(accuracy) = or < Feynman's Constant where Feynman's constant varies for each individual and measures how good the person is at explaining.
