Back on the roman numerals jokes...

The Romans had 4 kinds of poisons, poisons 1, 2, and 3 killed you, poison 4 just made you itchy

Took me a minute, chuckle worthy.

I work programming very limited hardware, which means going to some lengths to avoid division at all costs.
And anything beyond multiplication is a lookup table.

What sort of hardware these days doesn't have a divider?

I've been doing some Gameboy Advance homebrew. (16mhz ARMv4) I have an ASM divide that does a 64/32 in about 90 cycles and a reciprocal table for approx division where close is close enough.

I thought it was just me that still did that stuff!

My PS skills aren't up to it, but I was thinking more along the lines of a "Click on all cells that contain a robot", then have photos of Arnie from Terminator, Batty and maybe Pris, Data, Bishop (Alien), Yul Brinner (Westworld), a Fembot from Austin Powers...and then Major Kusanagi just to be cruel!

Nice concept.

The Major would be what would make it though, given her own insecurities on the matter. It's the underlying tenet of the whole series, including the name "Ghost in the Shell". So rather than "just to be cruel" it would be what makes it funny.

Also, instead of Batty you could make it Deckard.

Just press skip.

Technically they are all androids (OK, the fembots will be gynoids).
