2.87 would be 2 hours and .87 of an hour.

It is in decimals. Not in minutes.

As if an hour were measured in units of 100, not 60.

But if you already measure in hours, why not add minutes and thats it? It just look wierd.

A full hour is one unit.

.87 of an hour would be 87% of an hour.

It's a more mathematical way of measuring.

Measuring one hour is not being done with units of 60, so the minutes would not be calculated like minutes on a clock face.

Think of an hour as a pie graph. One hour is 100%. That's how this system is calculating your time here.

Pie Graphs are better when they are Chocolate Cream

As Katt mentioned, the .87 is not minutes but a percentage of an hour.

I dont list 2 hours 48 minutes because in many places the space available is not enough so we simply list 2.87 hours instead.

I kinda figured that one, but at midnight when the Top Users resets, how did someone last night get 2.something hours, another had 1.3 hours and it's only 12:30 a.m.? Don't really care just curious.

Time wasted section is updated every hour or two to keep load down on the servers. Although it is calculated in real time, the stats on the right as well as on the top page are cached.

I think I understand, since you rarely see the 1.something and 2.something people there the next day. So does it catch up on the daily top users? A little knowledge is dangerous at times!

Well answer it!!

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is
