You've soaked up a hundred.
Give us 200!!!
And then: we don't need nine hundred - two for two hundred and five hundred.
The community is happy with its problems. Thanks for the anecdote.
 
If the subject was closed, we could start another one. The idea of a dot and a comma as a decimal separator flashed across the board.
I remember a programmer friend of mine in chemistry class, back in the early nineties, writing numbers on the blackboard and commenting out loud - "full stop", when writing a number.

And it was customary at the beginning of programming to distinguish 0 from the letter O

 
Not convincing anyone anymore, just an example:
The Dow 30 is down to 24190.9 points amid a debate over the budget deficit andthe S&P 500 is downto 2619.55 points

The point to the left of the zpt.

My professors at university asked me why I crossed out zeros.

They probably never saw what an Electronica MC was. And they had never heard that a tape recorder was used as an HDD.

 

Yay, honeycomb!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll drink to that.
