Consider cropping the image to just the passage mentioned. If someone has an early edition, please answer with an image of the equation, the publisher, year of printing, the page number of the equation, and the page number of the story end. I'm hoping that the correct equation is in an early Victor Gollancz Ltd edition, assuming that Pratchett would have inspected and corrected the galley proofs prior to first printing. that'll do! Thanks." I have not stumbled across anything about this equation while searching the Internet, if anyone knows something about it, please let us know. no, that's too long, about half that length. Or he may have asked a mathematician associate, "hey Frank, I need a complicated equation for a super-cooled troll in a new book. I can imagine Pratchett flipping thru an advanced maths text book and picking an equation that looked interesting.
A collegue pointed out that N should be added to both sides to simplify the equation - probably also corrupt. This equation looks to me like it may be proper, but I am not certain. I found an online book with an equation that is a bit different (page 161 of 318): And no one checked to see that the equation was printing correctly. This publisher may not have been aware there was an equation in the data file for the book. Fiction publishers do not normally print advanced mathematical equations. I think I understand why the equation might get corrupted. This does not appear to me to be a proper equation, I suspect that it has been corrupted. In my book (HarperTorch, 2000 Jul, page 194 of 377) the equation is:
That meant he'd become stupid again, as sure as The passage (near the middle of the book): The second equation ends with an equal sign and may have something to do with HHGTTG. In the scene where Detritus the troll is in the Pork Futures Warehouse, two equations are mentioned.
Could someone with an early edition of Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett, first published by Victor Gollancz Ltd in 1993, please answer with Detritus' equation?
