Precisely. And the "where" to search for an answer is what I gave.
Not the answer. Not even the precise form of the answer. But a (probable)
solution space of feasibility. I'm not a mathematician per se, but I have a
Masters in Operations Research, and I am aware not only from training but
practice that this is the second part of almost every problem - after
recognizing the problem appropriately in the first place (which is what I was
trying to make him do, that he apparently couldn't).

[About the religious private college...]

Pardon me, but for what I understood, a firewall is necessary but
not sufficient - probably they will have to wait for PICS in order to
have a complete solution

Being a mathematician, I am used to the fact that it is not by any means
simple to know *where* to search for a solution, and this is independent
from creed :-)
