document.write( "           If out of every 6 shots only 1 was a foul, then the player would have automatically had to have made 6 shots 42 times in order to get 42 fouls, right? Then from there we just multiply 5 by 42 because out of every 6, 5 were made. Therefore, the answer is 210. Is this right? I would just like to check. Thank you for your time.<BR>\n" );
