Please don't write anything more on luck and unluck of a french
juggler.I admit that multiplex is easier than 5 ball cascade ( I see the
difference with the more practice I have got now. I do it quite easily now
though I do try this since much less time). It was difficult for me
because it was new for me.

Do not worry for my wrist, it is fine now. But I don't expect Dan Mac
Donald worrries. If he wants precisions, english is something teached in
"licence de maths" at La Rochelle, our scores are on 20. If he has 20/20
in contacts, he may understand.

Oh, come on, one more, just to clear things up. That'll bring the
total on this thread to five messages, unless you've been getting
bombarded in email by people who think a five ball multiplex is a lot
easier than a five ball cascade.

Ah, looks like you were.

Ok. That's understandable.

Well, to be brutally honest, no, it hasn't been keeping me up nights.

But, in the interest of promoting international goodwill and enhancing
confusion amongst jugglers, I'd like to provide the following
translation and explanation of what seems to have been said here:

And a score of 16.5 (which, it turns out, is pronounced "16,5" in
French) out of a possible 20 on your English is *very* good in France,
however, Guillaume admits that the Math/Science department that
teaches it may be a little easy on the students.

Nope, but he does have a girlfriend at Duke in a French doctoral
program, and that helped him understand what you meant.

For future reference, the rest of the world might not have that same
advantage.

Good luck with your five ball, bon chance avec votre ball du five,
et glad to hear your wrist is better.

Peace,
