Thanks @pgn - although I wouldn`t say the question was "designed to trip folks up" just a bit tricky - and congrats on being the only Silver Thinker this time.

Hmmm yes, I knew the hurdles was 110 meters and not 100 which is what catches everyone out. I guess I had a brain fart when answering!
Thanks and well done all slight_smile
