@hotdogsladies I'm still listening to the latest RecDiffs so forgive me if this gets addressed later in the episode.

But every time you or @siracusa is bewildered at the grape jelly + ketchup or mustard packet thing, I couldn't believe that neither of you realized that it is a pictographic numeral system, not unlike Roman numerals.

Grape jelly = 2 eggs
Ketchup packet = reduce by 1
Mustard packet = add 1

It is the same as putting I in front of V to make IV aka 4.

The rest is lunacy though.

You put this so much better than I did.

@hotdogsladies @siracusa My spouse: “I feel like this is something they do in prison. ‘Flip this jelly and that person gets shanked.’”

@hotdogsladies I’ve been trying to reserve judgement until we hear from Dr. Don on the magic marker system, but geez it’s hard not to assume the worst.
