Question
We have a span of deck railing. It is 39" from 2x4 to 2x4. We have spindles that are 1 3/8" wide and we need to attach them in that 39 inch space equally. What should the gaps be?
Hello Christy,
I'm not really much of a carpenter of any sort so I'm not sure what you mean by 2x4s and spindles. If you could explain that I might be able to answer your question.
Additionally, I need to know how many spindles that you want to put. Also, it would help if you let me know if you want me to explain how I get the answer or if you are not interested.

Expertise
I can answer a variety of questions on mathematics. Questions on trigonometry, calculus(preferably single variable), algebra, geometry, and number theory will be answered. I cannot answer questions on abstract branches of mathematics such as group theory. I also cannot answer questions on statistics. In number theory, I can answer questions on congruences, prime numbers, units, functions, and the riemann-zeta function.
Experience
I have studied advanced math my entire life. I started calculus in sixth grade. I have attended numerous math competitions and I am attending math organizations such as the San-Diego math circle. Also, this year I have been invited to the USAMO which is a prestigious math competition (Every year the USAMO invites 500 students from across the USA to participate in this competition. The top 6 go to represent the USA in the International Math Olympiad).
