Hi folks,

During the closing phases of AllegSkill development I came across an issue whereby it appears that different computers calculate slightly different results for simple equations. I ask that the community help settle/cast light on this issue by performing the following calculation with whatever tools you have available (calc, spreadsheet, programming language). Please post your tool of choice and a result with as many decimal places as your software provides.

Your help is MASSIVELY appreciated. :D
