    Question So what the heck is this decimal system?

    I keep seeing in people's signatures that they have different pets, reptiles, people that they live with and refer to them as 1.1, 0.1, 2.4, etc.


    I've looked in the FAQ and have attempted to not bother you all with a thread about it, but I haven't gotten anywhere...

    Is it like male and female on different sides of the period, or is it like the typical Neilson family has 2.3 kids and 1.6 cars and watches 96.4 hours of tv a week...?

    Thanks.

    it means,
    1.0.0 = 1 male
    0.1.0 = 1 female
    0.0.1 = 1 unknown
    so 3.4.2 is 3 males, 4 females and 2 unknown.

    If you go to Sections, and then under the FAQ there does have that information. It's a little confusing since we have several FAQs. You can also try the search function. That can answer a lot of questions as well. But when in doubt, ask away.
