Doesn't answer the question. Does the claim expire at the beginning of the minute or when 60 seconds have elapsed from the time of the claim?Tube Geek wrote:No. NW: 1 pt = 10 sec (0.6 min) .

Well we can play it like that if you like, but you're almost guaranteed to get a point if you claim just before the end of the minute.Tube Geek wrote:Beginning of the minuteGuyBarry wrote: Doesn't answer the question.

Ten second isn't 0.6 seconds anyway! That is 60 seconds ÷ 10 = 6 seconds, and 6 seconds × 6 = 36 seconds.GuyBarry wrote:Doesn't answer the question.

That can come up as a common error in maths lessons, not so much now for me, 0.6 and 1/6 aren't the same!

So far I think you've given us:Tube Geek wrote: I'm the best at Maths in my Year at school
2624 + 1 = 2634
132 - 1 = 121
3000 - 2937 = 43
95000 = 9500
100000 - 1 = 9999
100000 = 1000
and now 1/6 = 0.6 (I missed the last one until AC pointed it out). What are the rest of the class like?
