Most soundcards have a so called brick-wall filter at around 19-20k on both inputs and outputs, it's a very high order (8th is not uncommon) low-pass. In other words most soundcards produce no significant signal above 20k.
(NTSC) TV hum is a mix of 15.75khz and 59.97hz. |

Dogs do have some sweat glands, just very few and mostly around their toes. Why do I know that? 
I'm not sure about pigs. |

Do we? There are overweight people in every neurological catogory.
As Hale_bopp mentioned, some medications can cause weight gain, but many, if not most, aspies arn't on meds.
You might just be seeing that the majority of north americans are overweight. |

It seems the rules (130x130, <=6kB) are being largely ignored.
I think it's time for a review of the rules (6kB might be a little low) and then coded limits instead of the current honour system.
Agree? |

| Now now, I never said I thought we were "defective" (nor did anyone else in the thread). I simply said that, along with the other posters, I don't believe I'm magic. I don't consider aspergers a defect or flaw, rather a difference, neurodiversity as it is often termed. P.S. From Mirriam-Webster's on... |

I don't put much stock in this sort of ... finger diagnosis (digit differential, phalange physiology?  ).
For the record, my index fingers are pretty well even with my annulus fingers. |

That's about it. No-one that I would want to flirt with me :/
Not to mention half the male membership of wrongplanet. 
That doesn't seem quite as bad as "dirty old men".
As for me, half Veresae's "girls who are...giggly", half Gsilver's "random girls". |

I pretend to be NT most of the time, I do fairly well. Though a lack of confidence in some areas of my NT guise weakens the illusion.

You're certainly not alone in such perfectionism. I correct people far too often.
It helps to think of how annoying it can be when others correct your mistakes, and yes, obsessed aspie though you may be, you still make mistakes. Mistakes that I'm currently forcing myself not to correct. |

I think I may have misunderstood the question, but I'll give it a shot anyway.
The question leads you towards saying the first three odd numbered floors, but as there is no zeroeth floor, the answer should be two, four and six. Once again, assuming I understood the question. |
