See those two pins? Well today I'm going to... stick them in you.

Ok, let me come clean: Mr.Wizard is actually an alias of mine... I'm glad I can finally confess. ― Sjoerd C. de Vries

No, I'm Spatac... I mean, Mr.Wizard! ― R.M

I'm Mr.W, and so's my wife! ― acl

@Spartacus, it was not fixable. ― rcollyer

check again; I just fixed it. :-p ― Spartacus

"My main purpose of being here is in collecting the votes. I'd even go further and say that this is my main purpose in life." ― Leonid Shifrin

Some people are fortunate. Others get married. ― belisarius

It's not that easy to do the untangling even manually though. – Szabolcs

Maybe you could turn it into a puzzle and let other people do the untangling :-) – Heike

I could make a web based game, and feed all my graphs to the visitors.
SE is a big game, isn't it? :D – Szabolcs

May 16	comment	How to enumerate multisets @Artes a comment will suffice if you think this is a duplicate.
May 15	awarded	Good Answer
May 15	comment	Apply a Function Pairwise @chris the above is for you too.
May 15	comment	Apply a Function Pairwise @rcollyer I assume that `PartitionMap` is not implemented in terms of `Map` and `Partition`, at least not in their normal syntax and behavior. The latter will do the full partitioning first, then the mapping. `PartitionMap` does the mapping while the partitioning is done. For example, `RandomChoice /@ Partition[Range@1^6, 100, 1];` will use ~800MB of memory (peak), whereas `PartitionMap[RandomChoice, Range@1^6, 100, 1];` will use ~23MB.
May 15	reviewed	Leave Open How do I operate on a set of ordered pairs? I want to square each inidividual element of an ordered pair and then add it
May 15	awarded	Nice Answer
May 15	comment	Variable naming changes everything @5xum An apparent bug indeed, and one that has persisted at least from version 7 through version 9. I'm surprised this hasn't been found and addressed in that time.
May 14	comment	Variable naming changes everything For what it's worth a lot of information is returned with `Trace[. . ., TraceInternal -> True]` for anyone who has the time and energy to dig through it.

May 14	comment	How to plot filling under a curve? @Misery since you are determined to press on let me offer a suggestion: stop expecting Mathematica to do precisely what you describe and get used to using it interactively, observing the output and adjusting your code accordingly. There are many quirks and inconsistencies in the system as you are discovering to your frustration, but many of them are fixed simply and easily with the options provided. I get the sense that you are expecting to architect large chunks of code and have them behave precisely as you envision, without incremental testing; it often doesn't work out like that. HTH
May 14	comment	Saddle Point in Matrix Clever, and a nice use of my old friend `"NonzeroPositions"`.
May 14	comment	How to store a SparseArray? You can use the methods described in answer to this question: mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/1959/121 In fact I am inclined to close this question as I believe it has already been answered.
May 14	comment	How to plot filling under a curve? @Misery perhaps you should find out if you can get your money back and stop using Mathematica at this point. It certainly sounds like that's what you want.

May 14	comment	How to plot filling under a curve? @cormullion funny, because I thought it looked more like this, because after all you just get a blank white page to start with.
May 14	comment	Saddle Point in Matrix Sarath.S, welcome to Mathematica.StackExchange. Please provide more detail in your question; describe the output you expect and do not rely on us knowing, guessing, or looking up what you want.
