| Rule of 12's applies.

| Ifyou want to break it down into 2 hours portions it works out like
| this:
| First two hours it goes down 1/4, middle two hours is 1/2, last twohours is
| 1/4.

I corrected myself when I answered 'farmer' Joe. :-0~ I wrote it down just
like you said after realizing how dumb the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 thing looked. Duh!

Ask some more questions. I'll get the next one right. For sure. That one threw
me off for some reason.

Cheers,
Ellen
