Not a formula for Shell oil, but one that if followed may yield a cheaper and altogether more cozy way of heating your home:
62 O2 (g) + C52H84O22 (s) --> 52 CO2 (g) + 42 H2O (g)

Merlin was definitely cool. It actually got used for some very serious research on human memory and learning systems back in the 70s. I forget exactly why it was considered so useful. I vaguely remember something about it being a perfect demonstration of operant something or another. When my girlfriend was getting her Master's degree in cognitive psych, she showed me a dozen interesting experiments you could do with it. (Yes, I was her guinea pig on more than one occasion!)
She still has one of these little red monsters. And it still works. ;D
Paul Keith:
Nah, brick game was a handheld based entirely on Tetris and every variation of Tetris that uses the basic pixels at it. If I remember correctly, they even have a shooter using all the basic tetris blocks. The choice menu in choosing a game number also used large tetris blocks.
