no it isn't, unless North Yorkshire has moved

Yes, thank you, that was a wise suggestion. When the story appeared there were no details just a "plane off the runway" notice. I've been banned before, a few times. This can be a …

Very good work, well done. Not as good as Guass though :) Gauss' breakthrough occurred in 1796 when he was 19. He showed that any regular polygon with a number of sides which is a …
