Hi, I've made a tool which I thought might be useful for people who play with, work with, or generally mess around with electronics.
Basically, it works out combinations of two resistors which, when in parallel, give any resistance you specify (or as close as possible to it). You can specify which E Series the resistors may be selected from too. The table of results also includes the current through each of the two resistors, if you choose to specify the total current.
I used to need to work out this sort of thing at work, and found the tool pretty useful. Have a play, and see if you have a use for it...

Enjoy.
