| | | | | | (...) Oops. Hang on there Adrian, read for content. The five points as given in the initial problem (including 0,0) will not solve to a simple parabolic equation. Eliminating 0,0 does give us the solution specified above. Bleh. Adrian (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | (...) SNIP (...) Per Dave's last message, y is unknown (can't be 0), which Jeff has solved to 855/11. -Rob. (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
