By the way, I have a suggestion. When people ask a truly elementary question, defined as one which we can pretty much assume that all the readers of the newsgroup know the answer to, then it's probably better to EMAIL responses, we have now had half a dozen posts giving the formula for Fibonacci numbers, which is not very enlightening. Now if someone knows the question to which 42 is the answer, that would be really interesting and worth posting, though probably not to this newsgroup.
