The % finished seems a little off... anyone know why?

November 12th, 2010
I've noticed that though 179 is CLOSE to 50%, it's sadly not 50% of 365. Though the site says it is... anyone got a clue as to why? Rounding up wouldn't account for it, as 179/365 is 49.0. Anyone?

When I go to your page it says you are at 49%
November 12th, 2010
It does say 49 %
November 12th, 2010
Says 49% to me too.

@cadair8 @ukers @arlyah365 I know it says 49% on mine, but I'm actually at 48.2%, however it wasn't mine I was referring to, SaretheFish had hers at 50% on her 179th shot and it begged the question. Any ideas as to why?

aahhh you never mentioned it wasn't you sorry no idea though

@Scrivna @Wesley @arlyah365 Seems it's rounding up. 179/365 is .490410959. I looked at mine and it to rounded up - 256/365 to 71% when it's actually .701369863. I checked a few others and noticed the same rounding up issue. I noticed this when I hit 50%, but forgot to mention it to Ross.

yeah, it's always going to be off as we're dividing by an odd number, i've changed it now so it should be a little more accurate. It was rounding upwards regardless, now the rounding is a little less jumpy, but it's never going to be totally correct unless we show the decimals, which isn't going to happen.

my brain hurts just trying to work out why anyone would even notice what % at what you are, my brain farts when it comes to numbers...
November 12th, 2010
Does 1% really matter?

@nikkers "my brain farts when it comes to numbers..." LOL!

In my opinion, the rounding upwards is logical. I prefer it that way than seeing a decimal. Besides, 1% and less doesn't really matter, well to me anyway. :-)

@Scrivna @lintbrush Thanks guys! I wasn't at all upset or anything of the likes, I'm way to addicted to this site for that, I was just rather excited this morning to be at the 50% point, then it didn't make sense. lol, SO close, just a few more days to go...

Ps. Thanks again Ross for maintaining and constantly striving to improve such a fantastic site! Your work with this site truly helps beginning photographers like me and so many others very much.
