+Jango & Boba Fett Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Ah this is a hoary old chestnut (or should that be toffee apple) which if I'm not mistaken goes back to the days when computers operators lived in air conditioned isolation and wore sandals with socks: Christmas Day = December 25 = DEC 25, which one of our socially isolated computing geek friends might mistake for 25 in base 10 which is our familiar friend 25. Halloween = 31 October = OCT 31, which said geek might confuse with the the base 8 number 31 = (3 x 8) + 1 in the decimal system used by mere mortals ie 25. So you see DEC 25 = OCT 31 Link to comment

+rutson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Where is the highest point on the UK motorway network and what is the nearest cache called? Link to comment
+badger Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I believe that is on the M62, between junctions 22 and 23. The height is approximately 380 metres above sea level. With regards to the closest cache it is a choice of 3... Motorway Mayhem M62 J22 Emma's TB Hotel Dung Rangers Tour #5 - Neither up nor down Matt Link to comment
+badger Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Actually, the highest point is a little further west than I originally thought, still at J22... That would actually make Windy Hill the closest cache. Link to comment
+badger Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 VLOOKUP What is it, and what does it do? Link to comment
+rutson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) It's a command in Microshaft Orifice, I THINK only in Excel, does a vertical lookup in a table. Edit: also works in OpenOffice Calc Edited October 9, 2006 by rutson Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yup, Windy Hill, which is also the most accuratly named cache in the Uk IMHO. Link to comment

DING Although there's a school of thought that suggests the whole thing was a setup to allow Marlowe to disappear from the spying game, perhaps to concentrate on writing more Shakespear!!!
