The 7th grade error was confusing the units.

My mind had it right, the keyboard got it wrong...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. *How else would the range

Well, in a response, I said I " guessed " the range would be
greater... I NEVER stated it would be.I also stated I did NOT know the
formula for calculation.
That doesnt compute in the brains of the Dwarf Army, and their efforts
to ruin a on-topic post.
Wayne B blames, and insults the wrong person for a math
calculation, but theres no mention of that, is there?
Just like the Dwarf General Herring has stated...dont answer my
posts...lol. Simple really, but not for the Dwarf Army ; they're too
stupid to resist.
