Indeed. I am in 100% agreement there. I was thinking more along the lines of making that some sort of error message to enforce/educate that you shouldn't be doing that rather then making it allowed. It was just very poorly worded being written right before bed. Smile

Right now, the X variable doesn't show up as one you can solve for (correctly) but I can see how this would be confusing since there is no explanation as to why it isn't there. Hence a bit more information/error would be a helpful thing. That is more what I was referring to instead.
