It definitely going to be odd. ---

He did ask for a number, not an integer. Let’s give him 6.7 and hope he goes away. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > He did ask for a number, not an integer. Let’s give him 6.7 and hope he goes away. But he wants a “new” number between 6 and 7. So, either this means an entirely “new” number, like “zorgat” which is written like “(.” Or, he means an existing number that was not previously between 6 and 7 but now it is. Possibly we move the number 1,248.9052 to be just after 6 1/3. ---

I think we should demand a “twinkle hands” smiley. ---

Possibly we move the number 1,248.9052 to be just after 6 1/3. 6.7 is the perfect number for Siam between 6 and 7. Don’t complicate matters. You are making trouble. ---

Then I am forced to form a splinter Occupy group - one whose members know that 6.7 just can’t be the correct choice for the new number between 6 and 7. We demand a brand new number. ---
