6 minutes confiance : 
seven fold Explication : Either you're not so brain dead, or we both are. Seven fold and twenty fold sound good to me. Check hyphen/spelling though. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2005-04-04 13:41:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, now I got you. 5% and 85.71 something for the other. |

If I knew what you were talking about (ingredients? costs?)... ...the required quantity of xxx is divided by 7... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2005-04-04 14:11:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or *can be* divided, to maintain the idea of *permettre* |
