Easy Math?

Yep

Just when you think "I've cut 65 pieces already, I don't need to stand here and think this one through- this way is correct" is when you fuck up another piece. Guaranteed.

Have called for "arty" before and waterfowlman is absolutely correct.

Back to the stairs...I got 7 and 9/16 inches.
There's a scale on your square to figure this stuff out as well. The double division thing is the way I was taught and had to take a test on way back in high school. Keep in mind that they had JUST INVENTED the digital calculator and watch at that time.

There IS a formula written down somewhere in my carpenter book. It's pretty much what you did in your head correctly AT. Somehow Jehler got it wrong. He was only off by 1/16th an inch on a small set of stairs. Probably wouldn't get noticed. :mrgreen:

The answer is still twelve and always will be.
Bow down to my math superiority! Respect my authoritah...

But you don't even need a fancy formula or calculator to do stringers. If you have your opening and rise, should be able to easily do it with a pencil and your head
