    Good morning, dale, Bear, Pepper and mm :)
    Good morning Fran :)


    out of luck getting a few more winks ;) but we always can hope for a nap later on!
    Oddly enough I did lay back down and think I may have slept about 30 minutes ... my neck glands are swollen and sore.


    If somebody cannot math, do you tell them?

    Would you feel it's your responsibility? Or would you leave
    it up to somebody else?

    isn't $200,000,000,000 / 7,500,000,000 = $26.66 ???
    Or is it still too early in the day and I have not had enough coffee?

    I beg you to correct me if I am wrong, please.
    Good morning Bear :)
    I was terrible at math.

    If somebody did not math properly, do you tell them?

    depends on the context and consequences ;) for example - if they worked out how much of a refund they were entitled to and made a mistake i'd correct it. if it's some social media exercise probably not. people who don't remember the order of operations are usually beyond hope ;)

    The resulting conclusion was degrees of magnitude wrong. Like, $26.66 versus
    $1,000,000,000. And garnered likes, agrees, and a "head explosion" by the Fan
    Club. I'll let somebody else point out the error. Once ( :D, LOL @ "once" ) burned,
    twice shy. It would just deflect back on me for being "that person".

    What does 200/7.5 equal, to YOU? No "order of operation" detail here.

    EDIT: And 3 "winner" responses.

    :confused:

    26 & 2/3rds.

    Wait, is this a "story problem" and they got the variables wrong? Happens all the time...
    No, the variables are fine. ROUNDED, but fine. I'm not difficult
    (anymore). But the number after the equal sign is stultifyingly
    wrong.

    The numbers pretty much stated as "fact".

    Nobody else caught it ... or ... no stones to mention it.

    Do you want to field this? Consider it a gift.

    But with the latest numbers (per Google), it's still only $34.63. Not
    anywhere near $1,000,000,000.
