Have you attempted to create an account per the first link? (Upper
right hand corner)  And do you have cookies enabled?  This is under
Firefox 15.0 on linux.  Where are you getting this "math" from?  There
is no math involved and no mathematical answer required.

I am just an end user without the knowledge required for QA work but
had no trouble joining the list.  Just followed the directions!.
