This is unbalanced! I placed this inequity of inequality before the Board of Directors of Lancelot Link’s A.P.E., to determine the optimum and relative value of Heureka’s solution.  After a debate, the BoD agreed that Heureka should receive bananas and peanuts and the first answer should get the peels and shells.  All the votes were unanimous, save one. Chip Loki and Chimp Stanley holds Lancelot’s two votes by proxy, while he’s on assignment in Tahiti. 

 

Chimp Perceval, Chancellor of the Exchequer, calculated the conversion of the bananas and peanuts into 17 points divided between the two posts by Heureka. A board member requested the Chancellor of the Exchequer to explain the math. 

 

One standard banana equals 1 point times the board’s vote counts (one for each regular member and two for Lancelot) of eight (8) yeas and one (1) nay equals eight points under the reinstated point system. Points to be applied to Heureka’s first post (#2).

 

Forty-seven (47) grams of shelled peanuts equals 1 point times the board’s vote counts (one for each regular member and two for Lancelot) of nine (9) yeas and zero (0) nays equals nine points under the reinstated point system. Points to be applied to Heureka’s second post (#3).

 

Additional comments and actions during the board meeting:

A gripe about the single point each member can authorize instead of the five under the old system.

A short debate preceded the vote on whether to give points to both the posts or only to the final post. The debate yielded a consensus: because this is a binary question, Heureka’s posting of the solution twice with the second post having two numbers more colorful, is both apposite and quite funny.

Most of the Board members threw banana peels and peanut shells at the member who voted ‘nay.’ The acting CEO ordered them swept up and tabled until the final call for a vote to offer them to the first poster responding to the question.

 

For the final order of business the acting CEO, Chimp Loki, ordered the Chancellor of the Exchequer to turn over the expropriated bananas to the company barkeeper for conversion to banana daiquiris to be served, with the expropriated peanuts, to all board members.   There were no objections or points of order. 

 

The deliberative assembly of the Board of Directors of Lancelot Link’s A.P.E. is closed.
