Yea, I can't seem to figure out the current for bulbs B and C. I mean I get the voltage for D and E V/2R, add the 2 resistances together so the current for bulb B would be VR? I can't figure out what it would be for A? would it be: V/((1/R + 1/R) + R)? I have difficulty understanding this.

Heh Waffle? I like waffles they are delicious. I would use V= IxR They give no numbers for the problem, so I would just have R or 1/R for the resistances in any given bulb? B and C Resistance = 1/R + 1/R = 2/R D and E Resistance = R + R...
