If my memory is correct the formula for calculating the value of resistors in parallel is the sum of the inverses equals the inverse of the sum. That sounds like double-talk.

Or to caluculate to get the require conversion value it would be the inverse of the target minus the inverse of the fixed value equals the inverse of the required conversion value.

I don't know if that makes sense, I'm finding this difficult to put into text...

1/30 - 1/90 = 1/(needed value)

or 1/(1/30 - 1/90) = needed value

My math says it needs to be 45 ohms, which is not a standard value, but 47 ohms is and would get you real close. Using a 50 ohm variable resister would allow you to adjust until it was perfect.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
