...where that range of error is two orders of magnitude.😆

@FeralRobots @markgg42 @laurenshof No, the person who asked this question likely had between 679.8 and 680.2 sisters. The math checks out (assuming the other person did in fact have 5 courses, the answer is vague on that, which is a little disappointing)

right, but if *I* were to ask the question & the other numbers held constant, the answer would be off by 679 sisters. Though I suppose that's just "error", not a statistical margin of error - probably I should have between 678.8 and 679.2 more sisters. If so mom* was definitely hiding something.

*I'm assuming full sisters, but maybe I shouldn't?

@FeralRobots @markgg42 @laurenshof but you would theoretically ask someone *else* about about their sibling situation to get your numbers.

For example, of you asked *me* (someone with 0 sisters, -1.49 brothers, and 5 courses) you will find that the algorithm gives the expected result!

ok yes that WAS obvious & well now I just feel silly.😔
