As I recall, RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) was a clean way to deal with complex equations.

You mean "reverse Polish notation"During High School, the calculator of choice was an HP-65 Scientific. But then in college, it graduated to the HP-12C Calculator
What was weird about this calculator was that you got to enter things in "Postfix" "Polish Notation" (Yup, that's what it was called)... To add 2 numbers, you type in the 1st number and press "Enter" You then type in the 2nd number and then press the "plus" key. And it would add the two numbers.
Polish notation you put the operator first then the number.
I got to learn most of the non-programming stuff in the Air Force on their dime. Nothing like being a 1980s cryptographic systems guy; crypto guys were taught how everything worked, and how the math translated into electronics down the component level on the circuit boards.
So now I’m just a super nerd….
Used RPN since high school. Still have 3 HP 11C's. Looking at one on the desk right now, ready to use.
Thank you,

That’s for sure. When I was staffing an er in west Texas, so many 15 YO moms brought their kids in to be seen, however the kid was always presented and cared for by the grandmother. It was constant.
That would be "prefix" notation (operator to the left of both operands). Postfix is the operator to the right of both operands. Both can be "Polish Notation" and were invented by Dr. Jan Łukasiewicz. "Infix" is when the operator lies between both operands. My main computer professor and college advisor (himself Polish as well) was insistent on us understanding that as part of our "complier theory" class.
Lets just say ive known a snipped man try to help lesbos get pregos. Never worked out.....fuck those two bitches above!

Nope. That is "WHEN YOU FORGET TO PUT IN THE PLUG" I'm sure. I was the guy in the boat.

Questions on this? First what manufacturer? V-8 with V-6 exhaust manifold? Blower driven by v belts????
Gonna guess Offenhauser.
Didn't need to guess though.
Ah, the famous scene from M*A*S*H TV show where Frank brings the gun (see above) to the negotiations between North Korea/China and the others (for a prisoner and/or equipment swap, IIRC), where no weapons were supposed to be present.
Flathead Ford V8 with Offenhauser heads and a S.C.O.T. supercharger.
