I thought that too, but the only one I could find was on Wikipedia, and it greatly surpassed anything he had us doing before... Like, that's intimidating stuff on that wiki. Also, there's no real way for the data to fit in those equations...

Back on 6-3.....
I have the names, the upside-down U means intersection, and I am very hungry from looking through the pastry thread. I don't know what I am supposed to do with it. A little guidance please, and some brownies.

@Alisdair; I mean, if either of us make it past, then we can know what the answer is then...

Precisely.
I mean, I could try to hammer out the formula on wikipedia, but... That's scary stuff for someone who stopped after Pre-calc. It's named after a guy. Things get increasingly more professional when they're named after people.

I don't know what intersecting words means (nor do I see any snacks).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Intersection is like a venn-diagram. Look at the two names, and look at which letters are the same between the two. This is your intersection set.
and there you go.

I've had a look at Wiki but can't see any maths symbol ? so no idea what formula you're looking at.
I wonder the page title is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a quote from caesar, and those letters are in the ones we have so far - could it be an an an an anagram?
EDIT: Have to say, while I really like the general concept, and the maths with avatars twist, I like puzzles where the right answer is clear, eg you know when you've got it because it makes sense. I'm stuck here and getting fed up trying semi-random strings of letters ...

Is it possible that another error was made? Maybe ask Pancito again?
I was thinking it meant the intersection of all three pictures .. was going to spoiler this, but it's wrong, so I suppose it doesn't matter (sae).
And last picture, is same picture she has on myspace, and says " a member of station 8" .... no, i tried first half plus station, it doesn't work.

OK cos I'm a fair dude I'll pass on this hint from de boss :
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Reload the page, and look at the hint. How can you do that with that avatar? Huge learning curve here, which prob. needs a bit of work. Sorry. Oh, you are right about the intersections.
..
OK, so totally wouldn't have got that without another hint from de boss so comrades :
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
there's clues above, and what do we normally do?
EDIT: rofl
Quote:
it can't get worse...
EDIT 2: After raising legal action against Pancito for the brain embollism I suffered on the veni vidi vici page he's changed it - hope it helps you guys?
EDIT III : I'm finished, that was good fun, thanks Pancito.

Edit 4: Does the words 'class action law suit' sound better?
Pancito is just trying to kill off all of his pastry enemies, to be some victorious twinkie or something. Ch. 10 news "Seventeen ppl die from brain embolisms, story at 11:00!"
"I came, I saw, I conquered" Ceasar, Waitress#2...... if this means salad, I will throw more than pastry. Please give me another clue.
