Default typo in step 4?

step four says:

{[(710^0)/8] + 0,710} * 1000

the first part is 1/8 plus 710, so 710.125. Multiply that by 1000, and it should be 710125, but it opens a blank window.

I'm guessing the 0,710 is a typo. Any help?

Josh

We use in in Canada as well, it's the way most French write it. Since we are so close to the US though we tend to use both :P
