Is 0.002 dollars exactly equal to 0.002 cents?

[tunnel.of.goats]

Let's see if we can get more than 60% correct.

[farmerjumperdon]

No, .002 dollars is two tenths of a cent; .002 cents is two thousandths of a cent.

Let's see if we can get more than 60% correct.

If it's not 99%, we are all in gave trouble.

Well, that all depends. If some people thought the two were the same, I'd say those people might be willing to enter into a cleverly structured transaction that would be quite profitable for the other party. Don't you think so?

[collegeguy]

lol, you guys started a poll now?

[tunnel.of.goats]

lol, you guys started a poll now?

Yes, and I am very disappointed that no one has voted yes. Are there no independent thinkers here?

[cjl]

independent thinkers :confused:

The two are different - it's elementary math...

(glad to see that we're at 100% correct so far...)

I suppose you will claim that one is one hundred times larger than the other, or something equally outlandish. . .

(glad to see that we're at 100% correct so far...)

I regret to inform you that the answers are not 100 percent correct, but 10,000 perdollar correct.

I suspect that anyone not saying that they are different are just voting that way to spark controversy at this point.:shifty:

(at least that's what I keep telling myself)

If someone votes yes, we'll have a poll regarding that person's intentions.

Hmm...

It would certainly appear that way to me..(outlandish indeed :rolleyes: :wall: )

Can I get a definition of "slightly," please?

[C18H27NO3]

It depends what your definition of 'is' is... :lol:

[Rejinx]

:think: Slightly is not equal to 100 times greater. Therefore the correct answer is to leave this topic as quickly as possible and never enter it again. So that is what I will do.;)

[mickal555]

Where's the 'other' option?

[Ilya]

Apparently nobody on this board works for Verizon customer support.

[Tobin Dax]

What this really shows is that we need to bring back the cents symbol.

[cjl]

OK, fess up.

Who voted for equal?
;)

It went away?

At carboot sales, I often see signs "0.10 cents/piece" (well, at least those people who dare to ask less than 1€ for anything...)

I always have to bite my lip in order not to ask "can we go for 1200 of those for 1€?"

(the first one who says "well, 10 cents still would be a fair price for a car's boot" will be banned ;) :D )
