# Solve the blob-o'-resistors from xkcd #730, Circuit Diagram. This # version separates the two nodes shorted together near the middle of # the blob (they're nodes 7a and 7b). This doesn't affect any # currents through any resistors or the overall resistance, but it # does let us see how much current that short is carrying. # # This assumes the voltage across the network is 1V.
