<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Atilla: </span>I summoned it fully formed from
the nether planes. 20 Hit Dice of newbies had surrounded the forum and
<a href="http://www.maestrosync.com/nehs/" title="NEHS">NEHS</a> was mortally
wounded. I figured it was time to intervene before someone cast Feryn's
Flaming Post.

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Tanner:</span> Would you say that it's reached
greatest potential or do you think that there will be more added to it?
</p>
<p>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Atilla: </span>I don't think it will change
until v1.5 is released. As is, it covers more or less all the tricks of the
game - the rest is mostly a matter of practice. However, the next version of N
will have alterations to the physics, and some enemies - in particular, better
paths for drones and floorguards. We'll probably have to add some levels - or
at the least change a couple of descriptions - to deal with the changes.<br/>

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Tanner:</span> Can you be counted on to put
together something similar for Robotology?
</p>
<p>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Atilla: </span>Regretfully, no. I'm not sure
that I'll purchase Robotology, nor that I will still be an active member of
the community when it is released. For a start, I will finish my degree later
this year - some things will have to change.

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Tanner:</span> Was your user name in any way
influenced by a certain Mongoloid?
</p>
<p>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Atilla: </span>If you must know, I was accused
of being related to a certain Hun after a string of particularly sarcastic
remarks. I have not always been the paragon of patience and benevolence I am
now. I use the double L instead of a double T because it's less common and
thus more distinctive.<br/>

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Tanner:</span> Two trains leave a station at
exactly the same time, travelling on parallel tracks. Both trains are
identical but one has a slight eccentricity in it's wheels that causes
it's coefficient of friction to be 0.1 less than that of the other train.
Given a five hour trip, a weight of 100 tons each, an acceleration of 7.5
mph/s and a maximum speed of 120 mph, how many minutes will the first train
arrive behind the second if both the wheel and the track are made of hard
steel.
</p>
<p>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Atilla: </span>None. According to the question,
the trip time for both trains is five hours.
