As you got the answer basically right it's your turn Mr Monty. |
Oddly enough I looked at that site while hunting the answer but unfortunately two other sources gave me the number I settled on.
However I really don't think I did answer the question sufficiently and as I don't have a question ready to go how about we open it up or you take another shot.
