Andy48 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Posted by James Middleton on 01/04/2015 15:06:19: Sadly, as might be expected there is an obvious flaw in this. Not the silly one which links sat navs somehow inexplicably to a linear formula. The flaw is that, as has been stated, x=y. Thus (y2 -xy) will always be zero. If you divide both sides by (y2 -xy) then you are dividing both sides by 0 which of course cannot be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daithi O Buitigh Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 "...you are dividing both sides by 0 which of course cannot be done..." Unless, of course, you do a strafing run through the middle of a formation in a Mitsubishi A6M5 - in which case you just divided it by Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
