RVDinar4MyFamily Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm man enought to admit when I am wrong, after having semi-heated discussion with Fishman69 and BreakingDaBank last night in chat, I would not feel right if I were not to extend my appoligies and admit being wrong about our disagreement. Hope you understand that I am proven facts first kinda person, if I can't see the proof, then it is not a fact til I can. Excellent catch Fish and Break please accept my appoligies for my comments in chat last night Merry Christmas, RVDinar4MyFamily 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgraham Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 So fill us in on the disagreement and what it was that changed your mind. Lgraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMan1969 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Apology accepted. Like I said last night, I didn't want any trouble. Thanks again, and I sincerely hope that the decimal and 3 zero's WILL BE NEEDED soon. The smaller the number, the better Cash in rate for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishMan1969 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Apology accepted. Like I said last night, I didn't want any trouble. Thanks again, and I sincerely hope that the decimal and 3 zero's WILL BE NEEDED soon. The smaller the number, the better Cash in rate for us. In case anyone is wondering what the discussion was about: This discussion was in regards to the buy rate shown on CBI web site ( www.cbi.iq ) that has previously shown 1170 and now shows 1170.000. I am really digging the change, so now it can handle a number LESS than 1 which will give us a cash in rate GREATER than 1. Example: If CBI site shows 1 USD = 1170.000 IQD, this means the value of the USD is greater than that of the IQD, (not what we want!) If CBI site would show a number less than 1 as the buy rate, (like a 0.250) which the site can now handle, the cash in would be as follows: 1 USD = 0.250 IQD So Divide both sides by 0.250 or multiply both sides by 4 and the cash in exchange from IQD to USD would be 1 IQD = 4 USD So I see the added decimal and three zeros to the right of the decimal as a very positive move by the CBI site in preparation to a number, perhaps, much more sensitive or smaller than the present large number of 1170. And of course, if it is less than 1, I am sure most of us would be very happy. I hope this explains what I was trying to say in Chat last night. Lets just get this RV underway and have a great Christmas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry1 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 boy that is so wrong, I'm glad I wasn't there when you guys were battling this out. your math is correct, your answer is wrong. One dollar divided by .250 does give you 4 and 4 x .250 does give you one dollar. But! it is 4 iqd makes one dollar! or each iqd is worth .25 lol If I go to the bank with 1 U.S. Dollar I will get 4 iqd . it is not the other way around. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask for forgiveness from me later, as you are wrong. I will be waiting, if you ever do figure out that my math in this simple problem is correct. I am not here to start fights, and your apology will be accepted when you say "sorry". You may want to start working on the cash in math like 76% of the other members have started to do (I hope) by now. Only 24% of the people on this site KNOW how to calculate the cash in total amount per a recent poll that was posted. You are not in that group. Thanks for trying to correct my math anyways.

dinarette Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Fish - you are 100% correct, and I was a math wiz in the day. Most cashiers today can't give correct change unless it's in little led's on the register... The decimal and extra zeros are an EXCELLENT sign :lol: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just get this RV underway and have a great Christmas. Very Well Said. Anything less than 1 would be great. Even .86 per your math problem would be 1 IQD = $1.17 Which I would have no problem at all with. Thanks for posting what the chat was about. Pretty easy I am sure for someone to misunderstand a discussion such as this. I am sure the disagreement had something to do with getting the .86 dinar confused with .86 usd. That would be my guess.
