I vaguely remember struggling with something called 'fractions' at primary school. I would often scratch my head (and my balls) trying to work out the LCD.......or is it HCD? ??? ???

Whatever it was/is, it's more than forty years ago now. ;)

I had to google that one but no - the company just has a history of games distractions in the office; over here we have a table football table (and used to have a pool table until we ran out of desk space) while over in the US they have a dedicated games room with table football, pool, table tennis x2, PS3/XBox, old school pinball and air hockey.. Oh and a hired-in bar every Friday afternoon with local beers..

Sadly here in the UK we just have the table football ;D
