Rounding errors...

Richard with a posted total of 34.22 (from three cashes) could have been as high as 34.225.

I realize you and Sam worked out the four decimal place total (and it was only two cashes) so in this case the contention is laid to rest.

But I'm confused about your statement above. I would naively think that each rounding could potentially cost 0.005 and Richard's true points could be out of wack by 3 x 0.005 = 0.015, not 34.225 - 34.22 = 0.005.
