  • Mathnet Announcer: D. John Mutard was convicted of a 211, attempted robbery and a 020.313, disgracing the Dewey Decimal System. Bronco Guillermo Gomez took the $90,000 and saved $80,000 for his college education. The other $10,000, he put in a money market account, figuring the rollover factor would be about 6.7 times his principle in 20 years, if the market stayed healthy.
