Thanks Aldaron, enep, &amp; others, who appreciated the mathematics.

I just couldn't see having a discussion about technology without a little math!

For another look at math applied to Dwarven needs at Moria, check out this thread: http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/u...c&f=1&t=000163THE BRIDGE AT KAZADDUM</a>

I'm not an engineer, but I can handle a spreadsheet ok, and that makes it rather simple. Just high school math!

Look for these notions (plus your own imaginative ideas!) to be incorporated into forthcoming articles at THE BARROW-DOWNS.

We also took a look at the food chain in The Shire: http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/u...c&f=1&t=000425FARMING &amp; HOBBITS</a>

We've had recipes, discussions about Shire lawn maintenance, and I see other threads I haven't perused!

Makes me want to start a Middle-earth Lifestyles section on THE BARROW-DOWNS...

Any ideas for other applications of math and technology to other Middle-earth questions?
