@666Maggotz I wanted to put that as a poll potion but that would have been too obvious.

@666Maggotz I cant believe you actually went to all that trouble. I am impressed..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman that was a trick question: Romans were using fractions instead of decimal.
This eventually led to their demise.

@Phoenix The irony of "decimal" being a latin derived word is not wastest on me...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman yup, to decimate was to divide (the enemy) by 10.
