[melbourne-pug] The 8 8 3 3 == 24 solution

Here's the solution:

24==8/(3-(8/3))

How I should have remembered it:

We need to get one third, because 8 divided by 1/3 == 8 * 3 == 24

And we get 1/3rd by realising that 8 is 9/3rds, so 3-(8/3rds) == 1/3rd.

No slides for this talk until I manage to compile copi to bytecode,
and to mangle exceptions, even if only slightly.

Thanks so much to the people who gave me feedback.

Cheers, and see you at Pycon AU,

J
