This is simply part of another off-topic thread. Like most threads, they started out on-topic, but morphed into some- thing different somewhere along the way. They come and go around here fairly regularly. Personally, I like the way it has challenged my one-time mastery of some long dormant math/science skills. <kid gloves OFF, folded neatly and stored for future use> Somewhat more in a direction considered relatively on-topic: I was transplanting more seedlings yesterday, lamenting the task of discarding some due to lack of garden space, when my sweet wife piped up with, "Why don't you expand the garden?" D'OH!... I have the spare lumber just sitting around, waiting for a good cause. I think I found it. Scott... KCK
