It's famous, IIRC, because it's constructible with nowt but a pair of compasses and a straight edge, as the great Karl Gauss proved.

I'd guess heptadecagon for the name - "hedra" are three-dimensional I think.

Mile End? Was just there the other day.

N=14, so no. Any decent machines round there?

D'Oh should have counted first.

Dunno re machines in Mile End- not all of us live to play SWPs

Mill Hill ?

How about Balham- used to change there on the way home.

NM gets it. Balham it is. No tube just called Mill Hill - there's only Mill Hill East.

Should have known that Rob Bob would be close to the money on that one however there is a slightly more specific connection?

Flying Spaghetti Monster · Wed Jul 18, 2007 1:05 pm

all English varieties of hops used in brewing?

Northern Monkey · Post by **Northern Monkey** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 1:31 pm

I will give it you- the answer I was looking for was that they are the three varieties of hops used in Fullers London pride as set out in the blurb on the tin/ bottle if you ever get bored enough to read it.

Over to The Brewer
