Anyone know how many decimal places to round to? 2 since it's money?

I didn't round at all - not sure if that is correct.

 

[Jharkan]

actually, is it money?
yes, they are transactions, but they are not in $, they are in xrp.

I was wondering if they wanted answers to be rounded as well but I haven't been rounding them since it doesn't state to do so. I just messaged the requester about it.

just wondering as I don't really feel like getting my first rejection... I know it will come sooner or later but I'm still trying to build my approved HIT numbers

I'm in the same boat. I don't have any rejections yet, but I'm nearing the point where I just want to get it over with so I don't have to protect that "0".

true

 

[Yatagarasu]

I wish they at least gave us the answer to the example for checking.

I think that'd definitely provide clarity for everyone.

believe me
the first rejection hurts the worst
you're shocked
and you feel mad
but... you get over it.

to be honest, it's better to just get it over with
I was furious with my first one
and now, ... I don't want any more, obviously
but the subsequent ones I've gotten (even though several emailed me telling me the rejections were in error and that they didn't know how to reverse) haven't been as heart wrenching

Wings requester says 2-3 decimal is enough. Now I wonder if they're going to reject any answers that weren't rounded.

well... the word "enough" sounds like "it's ok if it wasn't exact"

what's strange though...
these are not difficult
especially for a computer
..
I wonder what the point is

 

[charlie]

wow. 2 racy video hits from sergey. yippee.

 

[lo3fg]

Another rejection from Wings

 

[Jharkan]

got a rejection from wings
even though my calculation is correct
I really do not understand what I did wrong

 

[Yatagarasu]

First one rejected as expected. The rest are still pending.

I have had 3 rejected from them. 1 I KNOW I did correctly, as the value of A was 0, so the whole solution was 0. I contacted them and provided a screenshot of the value of 0 from the link they provided in the HIT but haven't heard back yet. It's not even the rejection, I wanted to know what I did wrong in the problem.

actually, he replied to me with an incorrect answer too.
I wrote out the problem for him
he gave me a crazy answer that was about 250 off, with like 10 decimal places, even though the right answer only had 3
(my original answer was incorrect, that I admit)
but his answer as also wrong.
