A bit showboaty dividing by 2 at the end. It's 41×15.

Being picky again. Wasn't there only one 7? I did it like that but with 2×7.

Yes Gavin - that's what I did, it was easier to type in the division at the end than bracketing it to show it after the addition.

Susie tells us that "normal" comes from a Latin word for a carpenter's square. What she didn't mention is the still-used mathematical sense of a line perpendicular to a curve or a surface, which obviously comes from this. (There are other mathematical senses of the word, but that's an aside.)
