april 1981.

Classes in mašinska. I have one division of fourth electro grade, and four of third, mostly locksmiths (they're the majority anyway). I observe heaps of scrap paper on the desks - the guys are trying to solve the three utilities problem. Well, nice to see you use the brain a bit. And I asked them how was it going, well, getting close, there's just some trick missing. Yup, the trick is that the problem isn't solvable (why not soluble?).

The previous semester, while I worked in 13., I subscribed to mathematical journal, aka mathematician's association's bulletin, and among the rest they published the solution (of course, with proof) for the four colors [map] problem, and the proff that the three utilities problem (what we tried to solve back on 23-XI-1974.) has no solution in a plane. The proof existed before, but the guy who produced it didn't publish it, just said he had it. The second deduction of proof waited some fifty-seventy years.

I explained it to them, but they aren't no mathematicians, they don't give a fuck that there's a proof that it can't be done. They doubled their efforts.

This shot, actually the whole negative, I classified into next april, but it's obvious that the shooter in use was praktika, not regula, so it was now. And it fits the surrounding facts better that we bought the fridge now, when there was my whole salary arriving monthly, rather than next year when there'd be only the state dole, whatever it may have been. Of the whole negative only one shot can be used to sherlock out the time - there's a pear in blossom, so early april. There, the umbrella stroller (called so because they were collapsible, and the handlebars look resemble it) is in the frame. A year later she'd outgrow it.

And no matter what is bought, kid will play with the box. And when you cut a door in it to make it more house like, there's the delight. Go was really happy with it and played in it a lot.
