    A very smalll challenge for you...

    Remember this?

    Mercedes 1, Ricoh 0...

    ...well today I received the quote from Ricoh to repair Ol' Flatty. Repair, mark you. Let me just re-iterate, this camera has survived being fairly and squarely driven over. And it is repairable...

    So the challenge is this. Can you guess the repair cost, in Euros, to the nearest whole number...?
    Regards,

    Bill
