    Toots - you're supposed to be in bed too!

    Now I've finished working out what I'm going to do about this cake, I've got to plan what to do with my redundancy money :D Apparently spending it all on shoes is not considered to be a good investment :confused:

    That's the one I'm using :D but it only has the maths for the square, not a circle! I'm sure I should have learnt this at school, and if I'd known it had a practical use it might have stayed in my brain!

    The formula for a cylinder is the square of the radius, times pi, times the height - ensuring all measurements are in the same units.

    But the easy way to do it would be to fill the cake-tin with water and pour it into a measuring jug and convert from fl oz to cubic inches. 1 fl oz = 1.73 cubic inches.

    (Alternatively, using metric, 1 ml = 1 cubic centimetre = 0.06 cubic inches.)
