OT but something I've always wanted to ask:
In English (UK) we abbreviate the word "mathematics" to "maths".
Since in English(US) the abbreviation seems to be "math", if you used the full word, is it "mathematic"?
 ???
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

OK then W169 - sure im wrong because if I understand you right its not a project code your after !

So just to add to my ignorance !

I see +'s and X between ADG's but what are you meant to do when theres knowing between ? my basic GCSE maths says nothing = multiply !!!        ADG MII 1 ADG MII 2 ADG MII 3 ADG MII 4

Identify the cars and it will become totally clear for you when some times a '+' or 'x' is present and sometimes not...

Hmm... I was hoping for a more "round" result, but it seems that Mercedes A's value is -826/621??
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I guess you're saying that those are all wrong calculations?

Strange, as I'm 100% sure I identified all the cars correctly. I'm also sure I can do elementary maths...

PS: I tried to send you a PM, but your inbox is full.
