Can you solve this puzzle?

1. My nodes itch

:woohoo: :hi:

[Ptah]

2. I like the challenges you post.

And no, I do poorly with resistance.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. something divided by pi: is it 4? e?

I remember the one node difference resistance being a function of pi in the denominator, either a power of 2 or perhaps e, but I'm going only on memory (a memory that remembers being surprised that pi shows up in it), not any current ability to remember how to solve the damned thing.

7. pi is involved, yes

4. I dunno. I'm more defiant than resistant.

5. Resistance is futile.

13. Perhaps that's why I was in

auto sales!

My brain doesn't work that way!

12. Since there is an infinite number of paths, I would say zero resistance.

[pokerfan]

15. but there's also an infinite number of series elements

to go along with that infinite number of shunt elements.

(It's not zero.)

14. If I were a capacitor, I'd have to charge for the answer.

[pokerfan]

16. Stop fluxing around

:P

[Tom Kitten]

17. I give up

let's hear the answer!

[pokerfan]

18. instead of giving you the answer

I can show you how to solve a similar problem.
