Absolute seems to have some issues with math...

So far in my brief time at Absolute, I haven't seen anything really suspicious about the hands, but I've seen some strange statements involving numbers in their documentation.

Regarding their Absolute Points program we have:

[ QUOTE ]
4 points for every dollar of tournament buy-in ($10 + $1 tournament would earn 2 points - to be clear, points are awarded ONLY on the amount of the buy-in that is the fee, and that is not pooled for the prizes

[/ QUOTE ]

Last time I checked, 4 x 1 = 4, not 2. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

With regard to their card shuffling, the say:

[ QUOTE ]
A deck of 52 cards can be shuffled in 52! ways. 52! is about 2225.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, 52! = approximately 8.07 x (10 to the 67th power), a slight difference, but significant. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Their games do seem pretty decent. I just hope they're better at doing the math when dollars and cents are involved.
