Interesting Arithmetic - Donald Wilson - 20-06-2013
Just to take people's attention away from Council meetings and board moderation, I'd like to report the following discovery:
47 + 5 + 3 = 121
At least, that's what the list of entrants for this year's Scottish Championships appears to be saying.
Now, if we could just apply the underlying principle to Chess Scotland's bank accounts, we wouldn't miss the Government grant.

Now that Carol has left countdown I guess its up to me.
Write down 4,7,5,3 in the same order and
(4+7) raised to the power of (5-3) = 121
