try this:

Sin(x-80) = -0.2

I'll be back in a bit when I've worked out the answers. (there's more than one)

now you give me one of yours ;)

oh mine have come through all right. top set are useless. Bottom set are "partially errupted" and impacted hence they are coming out - all four.

and enough of thy cheek! "old"! I'll have thee know I'm only in me mid 20's.

Hence forth I shall wile away my days muttering about 'pounds shillin's and threpunnybits' whenever I get the chance and possibly ab-libbing the odd 'Wy-i rem'ber-wen-dis-wer-nowt-bu-feelds-wen-i-worra-lad etc. ;)

State the general and specific duties of employers under section 2 of the health and safety at work act 1974.

Don't envy you having your wisdom teeth out.... hope they are knocking you out when they do it.... What ever you do do not have 2 out then a weeks break then have the other 2 out.... as you don't want to go back.....

I'd already asked to have a general anesthetic but out of curiosity asked what was involved:

"Well the top two well, just whip out like that, not problem. The bottom two, we'll need to lift up the gum and divide the tooth with the drill and take them out a bit t a time.


In that case then, I replied, I definitely want to be out!

I'm supposedly "Reviseing" for maths exams in 2 weeks. I did finally start today. Did 20mins and gave up. Had some of my wisdom teeth out a few weeks ago. Oh what fun that was!

Anyway i should be getting back to my maths. "Investigate the dust content in the flue gases of solid fuel boilers" oh yay what fun. :D

That sounds scary, LJ. If it were me I'd just hope it turned out that there was a group of musical logs at the front of the room who would proceed to play a snappy rendition of "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK". But then maths never was my strong point to say the least.

Sin(x-80) = -0.2

x = arcsin(-0.2) + 80 ???

It's been too long since I did anything more complicated than working out how many chocolate bars my small change is worth.
