A 33" x 33" square metal plate needs to be fixed by a carpenter on to a wooden board. The carpenter uses nails all along the edges of the square such that there are 34 nails on each side of the square. Each nail is at the same distance from the neighboring nails. How many nails does the carpenter use?

Timing!
Walked back from lunch, got to my desk, sat down, turned to H2G2, refreshed, saw the question at top of list, went in and answered! Usually when I do that we're on the third page of discussion!

OK - maybe re-reading the question word-for-word five times to avoid embarrassing part-answers was a bit excessive. Normal service will be resumed... eventually

OK, so Danny is just 2 points away from becoming a champion - anyone interested in a plot? A conspiracy? A... *looks around, whispers* ...trap? Not that I would have anything to do with it, already being an H2IQ champion and all...

I did wonder, when I had to go out at lunchtime to get a new tyre for my car, the old one having a nail in it 
*looks suspiciously at Polidari*

I don't know gas leaks, punctured tyres.
Has the piono been ordered to fall on Danny's car at the correct time tomorrow yet?
Asnwer using the appropriate code word.

This never happened to Kelli. What have I done wrong?

kelli - ran 2 miles a day for 2012, aiming for the same for 2013 Posted Oct 9, 2002
I wasn't quite so far ahead, in fact I wasn't ahead at all until the very last minute...

It's those shoes - they really don't go with the skirt...

But I was told that shocking pink and bottle green were *the* colours this Autumn. Oh well, back to the drawing board...
