One too many zeroes here: 0.25 x 0.58 x 0.74 x 0.21 x 0.23 = .005 (0.05%) The 0.005 seems to be correct, so that should be 0.5%. The rest of the article

One too many zeroes here:
0.25 x 0.58 x 0.74 x 0.21 x 0.23 = .005 (0.05%)
The 0.005 seems to be correct, so that should be 0.5%. The rest of the article also uses "0.5%" correctly.

- Josh_Bloom 7y agoIt’s a running joke between my readers and me. EVERY SINGLE TIME I have done even the simplest of math (n= more than 20) I’ve screwed it up and been corrected by a reader. I don’t know how I made it out of high school.
- franciscop 7y agoNo problem! Basic math mistakes are dangerous because they might take credibility out of the rest of the article, but this one seemed very well written and it shows that you know what you are writing about so I don't think it's a big deal. I noticed only because something ticked on me when I read "0.005 (0.05%)", it "felt wrong" so I double checked.
