I love your quote: The answer is a lot and often!

Ha, ha. That strikes me as so funny. I always felt like that when in math class and a train left the east coast and one the west coast, traveling different rates of speed, how long would it take them to meet. My flippy answer was always, "I don't care." Well, my engineer brothers cared so I had to figure them out. But I know NOTHING about permutations and plan on keeping it that way. Looks like I need Ghostrider on speed dial. Glad SOMEONE can figure it out. I am still laboring over that elusive "scant 1/4 in seam". Why isn't it just a full 1/4"? hehehe

I would say none because they aren't going to Paducah. Am I right? lol

The real question is how much fabric they will buy in Chicago and at all stops in between. If they don't come back with more than they left with - well, I'm not sure they're quilters. : )

Anyway forget the chocolate, I need a glass of wine and a nap, my head is still spinning with the calculations and the math wizards that this thread brought out of the woodwork! And I don't even drink wine anymore but after reading the posts here I might start again! WOWZERS you people are far more brilliant than me!
I'm with Quilter 65 it's that scant 1/4" thing that boggles every project!!!!!

Yes, but what if they got so busy playing with all that lovely fabric and fiddling with their sewing machines, and looking at each other's fabric and playing with each other's sewing machines that they forgot they were going to Chicago? That's probably why they ended up in Paducah with all that Chocolate. What surprises me is that they didn't eat all the chocolate up on the train before they got to Paducah...
