You've made an error in your logic. I've fixed it but it doesn't help me with my problem.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostWell you have to put the result first and then all aspects of the formula and then remove factors until you come up with the solution...
So taking the facts..
sasguru = arse + elbow
Now an arse tends to have a hole and the question is about definition it is important we add this factor so would be come
sasguru = (arse*hole) + elbow
Another observation to take in to account is the fact he has two elbows so we add this in..
sasguru = (arse*hole) + elbow + elbow
Going through the calculation to reduce to it's simplest form gives
sasguru = arsehole + 2 elbows
That help at all?Last edited by sasguru; 31 March 2014, 16:21.

Not his elbow, no, but possibly my left elbow, which clicks when I bend it.Originally posted by Troll View PostIf you find sound emanating from it then it probably isn't your elbow

It was the number I wanted. Can never remember what the higher rate is after the tax credit has been applied.Originally posted by d000hg View PostDid he ask for a formula, or ask for the number to use? The latter is a case of lacking knowledge which is more forgiveable.
Bit of a misleading thread title
