  • I did say you could swap the last chunk for pythagorus - infact most of it could be.

    Square based pyramid is same as triangular based - 1/3 x base x height.

    Don't worry Chall, I got the same as you at first, and it took a long time to talk my friend round to the other way.

    I used Pythag to work out the base, but Blacksheep, your way certainly looks a lot better! x
    Gone ... or have I?
  • looks it - but you lose accuracy that way
