Mugs talk fractions. Smart players think decimals.

What does the team think?

No plankton to reply please.

In order I prefer:

American (by quite a long way)

Hong Kong
Euro (Decimal)
Fractional
Malay

I also suspect Malay will be my #2 within a few months as it's probably the best of the other four.

I have reason to believe that you talk to somebody sensible on IM Mashy. So my plan is to treat you gently. Even though you do come across as a complete loser.

If we were chatting face to face in real life - DEFINITELY.

Even anonymously online, it's a concern.

Of course Tigger. My money is on when you bet you don't think decimals or fractions. Am I right?

Did you get angry with a jogger on the road earlier today Pip?

agree with Lori. American is the sharp players choice - more ticks for your buck than any aside from hk/malay with the 3rd decimal place, of course ;)

I have always thought about how many decimal points people work to. I calculate and round to 3 but have to work with 2.
By:
Lori
When: 10 Apr 10 13:19
I vary between 2 and 3 depending on my mood, the market , and my percieved accuracy.
By:

When: 10 Apr 10 14:12
Sometimes I go to 4.

Whether to go to 2, 3 or 4 must be a mood thing. Never less than 2 though.


It is a strange old life.
