I think, -t, (among other things, I think that I can't start a line with your name) that your calculations leave out the fact that it starts from 100 rather than from 0, so to both your triangles need to be added little rectangles, like so:
0.5(0.5(500)) {triangle} + 0.5(100) {teensy rectangle} + 6*300 + 0.5(1(500)) {triangle} + 1(100) {little but not teensy rectangle} = 125 + 50 + 1800 + 250 + 100 = 2325
I think that I also left that out the first time I computed it, so let that be a lesson to me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jon, loving you and FAQWife even more post-update. Awww.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which is why I took the average. Which basicly is chopping the triangle parts in half and rearranging them to make rectangles.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It was two rows of four tables, all with glass tops and the tiny books under the glass. We walked from table to table. When the wife (!!) got to the last table, I lingered at the second-to-last one and, with my back to her, took out the pendant from my jacket pocket and placed it on top of the glass. I called out, "Hey did you see this one?" She came back over, looked at the object on the table, and said, confused, "Why is this one out of the case?" "Check out the inscription on the spine," I replied. She picked it up, saw the words "On Longing," and burst into tears. We embraced and I put the pendant around her neck. It was a perfect moment.
Which was ruined moments later when Jon was dragged away by security personnel who only saw the act of removing a tiny book from the direction of the display case...
