This study explored touchscreen keyboards using high precision touchscreen strategies. Phase one evaluated three possible monitor positions: 30, 45, and 75 degrees from horizontal. Results indicate that the 75 degree angle, approximately the standard monitor position, resulted in more fatigue and lower preference ratings. Phase two collected touch bias and key size data for the 30 degree angle....

Let φ = (1+ √ 5)/2 denote the golden section. We investigate relationships between unbounded iterations of the floor function applied to various combinations of φ and φ2. We use them to formulate an algebraic polynomial-time winning strategy for a new four-pile take-away game Flora, which is motivated by partitioning the set of games into subsets CompGames and PrimGames. We further formulate re...
