Hi, have you ever had this happen to you? Say you have something you want to divide into equal segments. Maybe it's a new meter scale, or just a sheet of paper you want to divide into columns. As an example let's say it's 5 inches wide and you want to have 5 one inch segments. That's easy. 5 divided by 1 is 5. So you draw a horizontal 5 inch line, and then draw 5 vertical lines 1 inch apart. Looking good right? Then you number the vertical lines 1 through 5. Perfect. Then you notice something odd. It says 1 through 5 at the top, but there are only 4 columns. WHAT? Must be the !/#$£¥₩&* ruler. What happened? Anyone?

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

It's because a 4 column box has 5 lines. For 5 columns you need 6 lines. There is an extra line to border things on the opposite side of the starting line.

Carl, I deleted your other post since it was duplicated here.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Nice one GD. I guess it depends on the amount of Guinness you just had. Grin  I remember seeing one like that with stairs leading around a castle and fountain. Sometimes you would be upside down.

The real answer is two. The top and bottom are the only complete ones.

Here is a picture of the column apparition
