hey folks, got this email from Tom Overton: Dear eBrief Readers, Thank you to everyone who sent in answers to the November G&G eBrief Brainteaser. We received 66 entries, of which 44 correctly identified the inclusion: a gas bubble in flame fusion synthetic sapphire. As a few sharp readers correctly pointed out, this inclusion is diagnostic of the manufacturing method, not the material itself, so “flame fusion [or Verneuil] synthetic” was enough. Congratulations also to Azita Amirebrahimi of Tehran, Iran, who was randomly selected from amongst the correct entries to win the 1 GB flash drive. Thanks again for your support, and we hope you enjoy next month’s eBrief, due to be released Dec. 7. Remember—this is the final free issue. Only Gems & Gemology subscribers will receive the eBrief in 2010. Tom Overton Managing Editor only 44 correct answers? well, congrats to Azita!! ciao alberto |

There is something really weird about those numbers. 66 entries, 44 correct leaves 22 which is one third of 66 and one half of 44. 44 is 66.66666 % of 66. I'm no mathematician or numerologist but it gives me the heebeejeebies. |

I just hope they don't get in trouble for shipping something like a thumb drive to Iran... |
