[geeks] quick cross product question

Does anyone remeber a better way to do a n-dimensional cross product other
than via pseudo-determinant?  I'm fairly certain there is a way, but I don't 
have my LA text handy, and I can't find it on the net.  I did come across
a page explaining why it couldn't be done for n!=[3|7], but I know that
has to be BS, since if nothing else, Mathworld talks about the n==2 case.

Anyway, I thought I'd ask since I'd prefer not to have to stop and run home
for the text then come back.
