Very good. The 'show' solution is more complicated
75x7 = 525
-10 = 515
4-(8/8)=3
515+3=518

(75 + 9) x 6 / 3 - 8
Took me over 30 seconds mind...

I get what you've done, but it's (75+9) x 6/2 + 8. We low-watt bulbs might get confused otherwise   Rachel's solution was (7 x 8) + 9 x (6-2)

Well, if Rachel quits and you want the job, you have to get it right!

I can't be doing with the brackets and proper maths. Just write it line by line for us thickys. Oh, and EPIC Rachel today. Thanks

To be honest, as much as JJ might suit one of the dresses, I think I prefer Rachel. Especially Epic Rachel. I'll have to photoshop up some sort of award graphic for the relevant days.

we're rapidly approaching the 'just words' threshold here guys, thus negating this thread's right to life.

This is the first time I've stepped into this thread since page 2. Amazed by everyone's interest in RR. TBH not my cup of tea, mainly because she's blonde. A few pics with her smiling and she doesn't look too bad. +1. Quite incredible to believe. Now - she is HOT!!! When people start talking about the clothes/flow/design etc, it does detract somewhat from the perving aspect of things. _________________ He fights for the users.
