Humpday Cypherin' Time

For the lack of a good question today I'll toss out an (admittedly lame) trivia laden math problem. I suspect this might be easy for some but what the heck...

What is the sum of a common pitch, a York pitch, a middle pitch and a half pitch, divided by the bedded angle of an LN 60 1/2 blade, times the number designation of a jack plane, plus the number for a fore plane, divided by the TPI of an Independence DT saw?

If I got the values right. 210/12 = 17.5 x 127 + 137/16 = 147.5

Jack and fore are Stanley "Liberty Bell" designations.

You were doing fine up to 17.5...then things derailed.

Another way LN

17.5 x 5 + 6 / 15 = 6.23
