From: Robert Dober on 4 May 2007 05:25 BTW we missed the score of Pascal's half of a hexagon by the numbers of edges of a pentagon (no politics involved here). I express myself like this because I am a square head of course;) If you get my point you will miss the line under the triangle but I could not come up with this. Maybe I should just have submitted ten solutions ;) Take advantage of your break James. Cheers Robert
