It's a good job you didn't see the other thread David & I have been talking in. That mentioned Maths AND Further Maths. Lol.

I think this is enough for me "42 is the natural number following 41 and foregoing 43"

do you have something about Area 51 ?

Physics was my fav subject or you can say that I was good at Physics and nothing else

Wish you all the best for tomorrow's exams.

I shall say that a great tool to get 42, but what's the use of it?

Instead of investing your time in that, put it in somthing useful that people/visitors can use and you too will get something out of it.

Like physics but not maths? Thats strange - I thought physics and maths went hand in hand? At least they did on my course, my physics A Level was just like an extension of maths (but harder!).

I take my hat off to you Mark - being good a physics is a very commendable achievement!
