I don't remember off hand which are which, but I'm pretty sure population is one of the numbers that gets truncated because that what happens to most of the numbers. I'm not sure at which point the number gets truncated either. Truncated means that everythin after the decimal is ignored. It is essentially rounding down, so 11.9 is the same as 11.2: 11. [/quote]
