Hi Ben, I thought there might be some kind of trick to that question i didn't understand. But how does a third of 90 still gets you 30? It's approximates it, but it won't be a full integer.
I like your solution. Although technically i guess you're still configuring it globally under R2, even with using a template. But i guess if the question doesn't take the specifics seriously neither should you ;-) Alef On Jul 20, 2011, at 1:57 AM, Ben Hughes wrote: > Hey Alef, > > I was just doing this lab as well.
