L' Eomot Inversé (1/3/2012)
I would have thought that if anyone ran it they would notice the difference between 570 and 567 as the last three digits of the result, so it hardly seems a test of reading skills.
On my system, the results displayed ended in 57 (not 570) and 567 - both in grid and text mode.
But that's not what tricked me. I ran the code after replying. I had it wrong for the simple reason that I forgot to check the precision and scale of the result for the decimal, even though I am VERY much aware of this issue (and have, in fact, explained this on several online forums, inclding this one, a multitude of times already!).
If I had bothered to REALLY look at the resutls (instead of casually glancing them) after running the code, I would immediately have understood where my error was. But I didn't, I was already so convinced that Paul mistook the displayed result of the real value for the actual result that I neither checked the results with appropriate attention to detail, nor read the explanation accurately enough.
Sometimes, I have an idea stuck in my head so tightly that I fail to open my mind to other possibilities. Today was such a day.
