Lets all become drug dealers
1.
2.
Does anyone else think 1 could solve 2? Why not let the government sell cocaine to people? You don't hear of pharmacists shooting each other.
But we cannot profit from drug dealers? We already do through CAB (criminal assets bureau).
But what about the lives that would be lost? Id rather coked up assholes died at their own hand than condemn women to a preventable death.
We are now short of cash. That is the reason prohibition ended.
A RECORD haul of cocaine worth more than €500m was dramatically seized off the south-west coast yesterday in a sweeping international 'sting' operation.
2.
TD warns vaccine cut will result in 80 deaths
calculating the cost of the programme was half the €14m claimed by the Government — €7m

Puzzle
A bunch of my friends were trying to find a route round this graph at the weekend. Yeah it was a crazy party.
A quick search showed the problem was one of finding the Eulerian path. And that the puzzle had no solution
"Eulerian path is a path in a graph which visits each edge exactly once. Similarly, an Eulerian circuit is an Eulerian path which starts and ends on the same vertex"
If there is to be an Eulerian path for a given graph the graph must have lesser than three nodes with odd number of edges."
Code to check for these paths is found here
The code to test this puzzle is
print eulerPath({ 1:[2,2,3,3,4], 2:[1,1,3,4,4], 3:[1,1,2,4,4], 4:[1,2,2,3,3]})
print "test run to make sure code works "
print eulerPath({ 1:[2,2], 2:[1,1]})
