[QUOTE="CombatWombat51, post: 1512636, member: 10473"] @Aluvial - Ok, imagine a jet plane zooming right over your head. That's what all that math was to me :confused: Thanks for all the info, but all I know about stuff like "tan" is that it's one of the buttons on my calculator I never touched for fear that it would bake me or somethng :) @die kludge - :bows: I was hoping for two short and sweet answers, but I suppose I should have known better... @Agemegos - Thanks for all that info! That certainly has convinced me to now place any special value on coal IMC. @DanMcS - ok... heh, I think I halfway got what you were talking about... You said that CRG's original was 3cm * 3cm *2.598. Ok, so that means side^2 * 2.6 Then you say 2.6*radius^2! Radius?! Did you mean side? Please someone say he did, then my math illiterate self can be content :) Sorry I'm being so thick about all this math stuff. I had no idea that there were so many different ways of getting the area of a hexagon... I think I should have saved everyone some trouble and cut a hex into 12 right triangles, and gone with that :heh: Oh well, I'll continue begging for now :D [/QUOTE]
