Did you know that's a traditional physics 'stumper'? Simple gas taps, with a rectangular port that opens progressively as you turn the knob, have a horribly non-linear volume/angle characteristic (viscosity, turbulence, inherent perversity etc.) and it's exceedingly difficult to overcome it.
New house, new kitchen.
Bleeding nightmare sorting out where to put everything, just like sorting out a new workshop, is it not?
The first Spag Bol was OK, but I must put a LCD monitor in so I can see the recipies
Should the gas controls for the hobs be log or lin?

Arthur C Clarke wrote (something like): If an elderly scientist says something is possible, he/she is almost certainly right. If he/she says it isn't possible, he or she is almost certainly wrong.
This doesn't necessarily apply to mathematicians, of course.
Hi John, Nope, didnt know that. Probably have to use semi-log spaghetii from now.
But I did meet the lady ( at The Barbican inventors conf, couple of years ago) who invented the non drip TeaPot, who announced the design the day after a Famous University Profeesor announced, on analogue radio, that it was impossible to design a non drip Tea Pot
Never say Impossible
