I generally find that assumption creates more problems than it solves!

Perhaps you should have added the calculus to your original post... that little extra effort would have saved the need for the half dozen other posts that followed!

Assume - Makes an ass out of u and me! Hah, I love that one!

Oh, and some related equations to add value to this post - R = (r2 + a2) / 2a, but I'll leave it just vague enough so you have to work for it. Has to do with lenses and spherometers. Ok I'm done now.
