Hi ALL, I am a novice in Mathematica, know that there are no easy ways for learning, so spent 2 weeks trying to solve an easy problem, but so far have only ugly solutions. Yes, I read and reread the Book as well as searched for similar problems on the Forum. I have 2 lists: f1={{2, 1}, {3, 1}, {7, 2}, {9, 1}, {10, 1}, {12, 1}, {14, 3}, {19, 3}, {23, 1}, {24, 1}, {25, 1}} f2={{2, 2}, {5, 1}, { 6, 2}, {10, 1}, {14, 3}, {16, 1}, {18, 1}, {21, 3}, {22, 1}, {26, 1}} I need to compare sublists (pairs) from the first list f1 with pairs from f2. If pairs with 2 first equal numbers exist, I have to multiply the second, after having products for all such pairs, I need to receive their sum. Say from f1 and f2 I have {2,1} and {2,2}, the product is 1 2=2, similar {10,1} and {10,1},{14,3} and {14,3}, so it should be 2+1+9=12 Any ideas are very welcome TIA, omk
