Or 46 x 16 and 48 x 15.
The difference on 49/48 is marginal to me, if that.
But 46/48 is pretty big. The 15 really brought it up a notch.
What's funny here is how much people are upset when you challenge the math.
"The MATH IS RIGHT! SCIENCE PREVAILS!!"
Which to an extent is right, but really, often times we bend the number to express what we feel.
This was a fun thread.
