There should be no decimals. If there are, you have something slightly wrong.

UPDATE, 9/9/2018: If you PM me for level help, I'm more than happy to answer, but I may not be checking my forum inbox more than once a week (or less), so please be patient with waiting for a response. Thank you!

Be aware that the letter "G" can have 2 different interpretations.
If one doesn't work, try the other.
This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit.

Question: the "equation" assumes that the multiplication sign is implied between factors
(e.g. (GLIBSOI / 16) – (OOZES x 2) is really (GLIBSOI / 16) –* (OOZES x 2))?

Edit: solved it... the "-" were not displaying in the source code (encoding issue?)
What...? How could you lose progress? You forgot all the answers?

An no clue why the "-" wasn't showing up. It must be a browser issue.
According to my analysis, why the minus "-" wasn't showing up is that you use the ASCII code 0x96 instead 0x2D in the source code, and such a character may not be shown correctly under non-western charsets (such as CP936, the Simplified Chinese).

I've got a pretty large sum (some 9 digits starting with 2) which I cannot figure out what's for... couldn't map back to letters given the '1' around...
