L: What is the rise at Foxton locks (per Nicholsons 2000 edition)

M: How many full pints are there in a typical "yard of ale" filled to

T: What is the (maximum) height in feet of the Titford Canal above

Enumerate the following, where
(Y Z) x Q x (C/J)
SQRT = Square Root
And
U = SQRT [(D+G) (R+S) I ] Careful, that is letter I not number
1
V = SQRT [ T M cubed ]
W = SQRT [(K-F) + (2 x A)]
X = 10 x E + B squared + O P Careful, that is letter O not number
zero
Y = U + V + H + L
Z = W + X + N
