"Clear glass?" said Dozebom. "That will take much more wood and work to make. Why not just green glass?" "I'm not an expert on optics," said Kogan, "but from what I recall, the color of light that you see an object as being is what the object didn't absorb. This applies to both plants and glass." Dozebom motioned to keep explaining, and Kogan continued. "Plants require light to grow - at least aboveground plants do. They absorb the light through their green leaves, which means that they absorb everything but green light. Green glass does the same thing - it absorbs everything but green light. So the light that passes through the green glass will not contain what the plants need to grow, so they won't give much food. That's why we need clear glass, which won't absorb as much sunlight." "I see," said Dozebom. "I'll tell the woodcutters to begin clearcutting." "And we'll need fertilizer as well, at least in the beginning," said Kogan. "That will increase food production until the farmers are skilled enough to go without it." Dozebom marked down on a page: 'CUT ALL WOOD'.

Error: Analysistant.exe has crashed.How fortuitous! I log in today for the first time in weeks, to see this less than a day after it was sent. Yes, I am certainly ready. (This week is probably one of the best in the summer for me to take my turn, in fact. Fortuitous and fortuitouser.) Thanks for the good luck, and I must say that I am filled with dread when imagining what may have happened in the last month or two since I last looked at the thread.
