As I read your post, it seems to me that some key numerical info is missed in it.

Please read your post attentively as it appears at the forum, and find this place.

Then fix it and re-post.

Please do not post it to me in person.

Notice that copy-paste methodology does not work at this forum and may lead
to such situations that the numbers disappear.

The right methodology is to print everything from scratch using your keyboard
instead of making copy-paste.
