It seems, after many years doing this,
discussion has finally reached school-boy
level! How about this one?
cats exist
to show

(defun compute-wood-distance (total beams)
(let*((sum-beam (apply #'+ beams) )
(space (- total sum-beam))
(num-holes (1+ (length beams)))
(hole-len (/ space num-holes)) )
(message "%.1f cm" hole-len) ))
;; (compute-wood-distance 139 '(6 7 9.5 9.5 9.5 9.5)) ;; 12.6 cm
