Yes, you're right, Moritz. It doesn't!

What happened was, that I saw this a few years ago, and found it
amusing.

Then by chance, yesterday, I came across it on the web, and because I
had to send a test message, I thought I'd include it. So I copied it
without checking.

But the author of the web page got it wrong.

However, it works if the second line is changed to:

> > From 1 to the cube root of 3
^^^^
Sorry about that.

Tony
