Understanding the difference and caring on a sports forum are two different thing. I didn't realize we were turning in post for a grade. I'll try and o bettre. Besides I know how typos trigger some people, and that's an added bonus.

The bad chamber in the raft doomed us. It folded in half, the front half backwards over the back half. I should have ended things or gone around that hole. My understanding is that newer rafts no longer have that problem.

People that fall out are almost always lackadaisical. Don't wedge their feet in the raft correctly, and don't realize how sudden and hard a jolt may be.

A good friend of mine worked(co-op in college) for the engineering company that rebuilt the Ocoee flume in the early 70s. He said seeing a 5 foot snake was a daily occurence. Many of them poisonous.

We used to go on the French Broad occasionally, but hired local guides. When we had children I would only take them on the Hiwassee.

I understand your guides concern. I think there have been at least 6 people killed on the Ocoee.

Moving to upper E TN and back surgery ended my rafting days.

Had a similar experience, just got ejected. Closest to drowning I have ever been. Last of whitewater for me.

Welp it wasn't....but I'm not gonna argue about it...I did look up Craig he's technically considered a "Cryptography" expert instead of the "mathmatician" title... but you kinda have to be a mathmatician to do cryptography so whatever.

I feel touched you think I made up a story about being in the bottom of an elite class where ALMOST everyone did better then me. I find it hard to believe also.

More on Craig's contributions...
Probably the smartest guy I ever met or knew. Super nice guy also.

Fwiw, I can do math in my head! I was at the gym earlier, got on a shoulder machine that had several odd weights. I put the 45 and a 5 on one side, and two 25's on the other. Saw the guy (young) beside me looking at it confused 🤣

Ahh, like asking if you can get your change in 5’s instead of 20’s. That look of panic…

Had a girl at a restaurant mess her register up, but I knew how much change she owed me. She wouldn't believe me, so I told her to get the manager. That lady wouldn't take my word either, so she went to get her phone. She literally acted mad when she saw I was right 🤣. Neither one seemed to grasp the concept of simple subtraction in your head.
