Read through these posts and it should be clear how I got confused. I may not be good at math, and sometimes my comprehension may leave a bit to be desired, but I think it is clear that Dave lead me astray but his post, the first quoted here.

.........just guessing

Pretty sure "kms" is kilometers, and 100 doesn't look like 160.
So when Mark related his journey, my response was thus.
Originally posted by Racer X 69 Um, let's see.
80+40+40=160.
I thought you said it was a 100km ride?
So then I went back through the thread, and sure enough, Mark said he was going to be riding 160kms.
So I made yet another post, feeling like a dope.
Originally posted by Racer X 69 Um, I just re-read your original post, Mark.
And of course there could have been only one conclusion to be drawn from Dave's misleading comment.
Originally posted by Racer X 69 Dave must have been sampling some hooch when he said 100km.
So, never mind, eh?
But Dave wasn't finished.

Coffee lose I ............

I think it is because he works the graveyard shift, and is sleep deprived. I worked the graveyard shift once, and I know that getting adequate sleep is near impossible, and once one gains a sizable sleep deficit, well, all I can say is there aren't any drugs or alcohol that will produce the state of euphoria that lack of sleep does.
Yes, Mark, even with my poor math skills, I know that much.
Originally posted by tim60 He became so unwell through the journey his capacity for doing mental arithmetic was impaired.
Mark's math was flawless.
This all started with Dave.

Mark is a math whiz, man. A math whiz I say.
You youngun.
Dave?
Not so much.
