As a European I was pretty confused when I got most of the answers of rounding wrong. It took me a while but I figured out my confusion stems from the fact that we use different punctuation than you do in America.
While we would say 1000; 1 000 or even 1.000 you say 1,000. And while we say 0,05 you say 0.05. I'm not asking you to change your punctuation of course I'm just wondering if you could add a warning to this exercise for fellow Europeans.
