Click For Summary
A web server may display a "forbidden" error when access to a webpage is restricted due to file permissions.

Forbidden errors are commonly linked to these permission settings.

That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
