typo in step 4?
step four says:
{[(710^0)/8] + 0,710} * 1000 the first part is 1/8 plus 710, so 710.125. Multiply that by 1000, and it should be 710125, but it opens a blank window. I'm guessing the 0,710 is a typo. Any help? Josh |

We use in in Canada as well, it's the way most French write it. Since we are so close to the US though we tend to use both :P

Well, that's too much for a Thursday morning that I'm off :P I would need to dig quite far in my brain to solve Stage 7 [/ QUOTE ] It actually involves no more than the pythagorean theorem. The hardest part is making a diagram, which should look something like (r = radius, x = length of cord): The part you're looking for is in red. It is the radius minus the length of the missing leg of the right triangle. The length of the missing leg is sqrt(r^2 - 1/4x^2), so the answer is: r - sqrt(r^2 - 1/4x^2) |

Yeah I know, I've completed it (see post below) after someone said it ended at stage 8 :P I was just lazy.
