Zegroes without his "g" ???   Not gonna' happpen.......that's like Charlie Chaplin without his cane.......

Besides......I've already assigned this task to my loyal assistant, Sisyphus......he's a bit slack, though......it  should only take him about another millenium (or so) to finish.......

$250 x 426.25%  = 

$250 x 4.2625 =

about  $1065.63  .....that's a lot  !!!

360 / 8 = 45°   for each central angle.....the other two angles of each congruent triangle are 67.5° each

Let's assume that the mortar is negligible {probably not a good assumption}.... and the post is "solid"

Each brick is  3.5 inches by 6 inches by 3.5 inches  = (7/24)ft x (1/2) ft x (7/24)ft = 49/1152 cu ft

And the post is 3.25 ft x 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft  = (13/4) ft x (5/2) ft x (5/2) ft = 325 /16 cu ft

So.......to find the number of bricks needed, we have   ( 325/16 ) / (49 / 1152)  = about 478 bricks 

We generally like shish-ka-BOBS......!!!!!

Those "big boxes" are known as CRT's......I just got rid of mine last January........this new laptop is better.......hey......it even has  color......!!!!!  {Except....it can't divide by  0   !!!! }

LOL!!!!!

Hey, zegroes.......don't insult me........I gave up that B & W TV   at least two years, ago......right after my mule died.......

Remember......dividing by zero is.....

NEVER COLORFUL...............!!!!!!!!!
