I'm wondering, what's the difference in the 2 numbers on the spreadsheet? For example, GreatGonzales has a total of 27,6. I assume the 27 is the total points awarded, but what's the 6 represent?

0,6 points Dodgy

Nope, still in the dark. Are commas being used in place of decimal points?

No. American people use points in place of decimal commas

Really? I never knew other countries used commas for decimal points. How do you differentiate between Two Million One Hundred One (2,000,101) and Two Thousand and One Hundred One Thousandths (2,000,101)? Do you just not put any commas in the number (2000101 and 2000,101)?

We use 'decimal' points for that Tongue

Two million one hundred one: 2.000.101
Two thousand and one hundred one thousands: 2.000,101

Great, another thing we Americans do backwards Tongue

It's interesting how commas and dots were instituted based on what other numerical and language systems were already in place.

Gfich, you should link to the spreadsheet in the OP?

Whoops...

By the way, I found out what was wrong with the squares in the spreadsheet. Apparently, it's a feature of Ubuntu that's causing the problem. A '^' (not sure what the word is) typed in Ubuntu automatically makes superscript layout (like you would write a square IRL). However, I didn't noticed that supersripts currently don't excist in Google Spreadsheets Confused. So, it would error out in a formula. I should've typed ^[space], which actually types the ^, which Google uses to indicate forces.
