Sounds like a fun challenge Pete, but this bit has me confused. You say the numbers are stored as binary, but I don't see how 10000 binary gets to $100.00 10000 binary = 16 decimal So I am assuming that it isn't actually binary, just the currency to 2 decimal places, only without the decimal point. Also, can you provide some test cases showing what you want to get back for a given set of parameters?
