Although I’d monkeyed with the Wolfram Alpha site some, it wasn’t until I was working over the McClatchy pension loss numbers that the site’s real power and utility came into focus.
Trying to get a handle on the future value of the $32m. MNI thinks it will eventually recovery from a pension fraud case was a snap with Wolfram. If it takes three years to get money out in a settlement, it will need to be about $37m. to equal $32m. today.
Not the most complex thing for Wolfram to spit out, but a good of example of how quick and useful the site can be.
