Here’s today’s question…
I received a USB credit-card-looking device in the mail, plugged it into my mac (in my test environment of course) and it opened up a web browser and sent me to a promotion site. The question is, by what means did it do this (and how could it do it consistently on multiple platforms with different web browsers)? I’m looking for a general answer of the functionality, not specific instructions.

Please solve the following for x, y and z:
4x + 4z = 23 + y
3y – 16z – 2x = 1
x + y = -2z + 32
4x + 4z = 23 + y
3y – 16z – 2x = 1
x + y = -2z + 32
