However with the right partner,

I’d consider anywhere.

So here’s the pitch…

3D Printing Has Changed the Equation

Mass Production cannot compete.

But…

The software sucks.

A lot.(for consumers)

Solution

Oh, and do you like puzzles?Of course you do.

As a fun icebreaker, include my area code if you’d like :) …

2nd Digit p = Count( Rings of Power )t = Missing( Count{ Holy Hand Grenade } )z = The number here: http://icebreakerpuzzle.weebly.com/ e = Tens Digit (Answer to Everything)

3rd Digit

n = 11540;

while (n > 9000) {q = Stupidest_function_ever(n);printf( “%d”, q);n = n – broken link;

} printf ( “ <- Third digit. \n”);

Stupidest_function_ever returns value q (binary) for given parameter n. It returns a true value if the digit in the thousandths place of the quotient - of n divided by the product of the number of planets when you were born and the sum of the episode numbers of good Star Wars movies - is greater than four.

Thanks!Hope you enjoyed them.

Can’t wait to chat and

hopefully change the world.
