And then split them up once more!
(Refraction: ½ + ½ = 1 = ¼ + ¾)

Thanks – as for the other, you have fractions, you bring them back to a whole – and then you re-fraction in splitting into fractions again!

It would have made a math-ive impact? The V would have thrown some light on the subject! Someone really should have hoisted one, just for the show of the thing …

Still have tennis elbow, alas. At least, now, it is balanced by having got it in the left arm as well. That makes lifting, bashing, twisting or wrenching things rather … interesting.

The upside-down ‘V’ the refraction produced was really striking, I thought.
