Only read the top of the page (should go to bed!) and I was going to get 
worried about how to do it given my crappy maths. Then the penny 
dropped. It's a MOD situation. 37 seconds. And a couple of minutes to 
implement it.


I'm sorry... are you guys yanking my chain? Grads're really this bad? 
Maybe I oughta look for a career move.


Best wishes,

Rick.
