You are, of course, right Iarwain. I seem to have mis-calculated by a decimal place (math was never a strong point of mine [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ). I suppose then that Gandalf's statement in the movie, if it is to be reconcilable with the book, also included Valinor (hmm... although Valinor has presumably been around for much longer than 300 lives of men). It seems that not only was I wrong in my calculation, but Peter Jackson made a mistake with the statement.
