Kind of a strange way to list them… They’re numbered, so it looks like they’re putting them in order of their fame, but that can’t be.
No way is Louis-Vuitton more famous than Samsung or Toyota.
And there are 5 cars and I think 8 airlines, and a lot of things I’ve never heard of, not that my lack of familiarity proves anything. I don’t get out much.
Of course, first you have to define “famous”. Does it mean recognizable? The logo, or the product, or the brand itself?
For years, Coca-Cola was #1 by almost any metric… It’s recognized in tribal villages at the far ends of the earth. But I’ve heard that Apple has surpassed it.
But the main thing is, famous brands don’t conveniently come 1 per country….
America gets only one slot. But Coca-Cola would still be ahead of most of this list, and I’ll wager that so would McDonald’s, and Amazon. I’m not saying that’s good or bad, just that I bet more people have heard of McDonald’s than Tata or Chang.
What a strange slogan…. Truthfully, the whole message leaves me baffled.
If nature in the raw isn’t mild, so they don’t use raw tobacco… are they calling their brand unnatural, cos natural cigarettes would be.. um… attacking you, like those “savages” who massacred Custer… or wait….
Um… explain again… what does Little Big Horn have to do with toasted tobacco?
As for mild…. when I was a kid, if you saw an empty Lucky Strike pack on the ground, you could stamp your foot on it, call “Lucky Strike!” … and slug the person you were with. Not quick with such things, I was more often the sluggee than the slugger. That doesn’t seem very mild.
Yeah, yeah… that has nothing to do with the tobacco.
But neither does George Armstrong Custer firing a pistol at Indians.

Perhaps M. Escargot would prefer to have his mushroom braised in a little vin blanc?
Sorry I can’t join you for lunch… that looks like it might be some kind of agaric, and many of those are a bit too poisonous to humans for my taste.

The Space Awl.
That’s probably awl they had back then.

We’re even.
I know you can’t be suggesting that tobacco companies have been anything less than honest and forthright in their marketing.

Let me guess: Is her name Alexandra?
Or Anastasia?
….
Yeah… I didn’t want to, cos it looked tedious, but then I realized the first two lines just kinda fell into place…
See MCTS below
5×2 + 2 =12
5×2 – 4×2 =2
So ∆=4
Slight error with the two circles on line three, you have them as two different values.
Oops… I was just posting to Tigressy when I realized that in line 3, I had switched the values between the first two variables, so I deleted the post.
I was just going to delete my solution too, and redo it….. But that would delete your comment as well.
So I’ll leave my silly mistake, just so people can see your correct solution.
Sigh….
s * (c +1) = 12
s = 2
c * (s – t -1) = 0
c <> 0 , divide by it , add t on both sides
2 – 1 = t = 1
see the cat?
Got him/her!
Yup!
To me, it’s primarily a picture of a cat.
