I used to avoid calculatedly the CALCULUS classes but TRIGONOMETRY was my favourite . I SINE off without participation as I visited the blog only this Sunday morning at 1130am here in NY where the Spring(er)'s puzzle is welcome.<br /><br />Any clue formation for ISOSCELES by any one ? <br />Visit us again here. raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-81837637635447960722016-12-04T18:37:04.880+05:302016-12-04T18:37:04.880+05:30Thanks very much, Srividya!
