Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

this is actualy a very interesting and unique idea for the third number. time but not normal time. decimal dime.

Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used to refer specifically to French Revolutionary Time, which divides the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds, as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.

this article goes more into depth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

One decimal second is 86,400/100,000 = 0.864 standard seconds
One decimal hour is 24/10 = 2.4 standard hours, or 2 standard hours and 24 standard minutes.

it is late and the math makes my head spin but this could make a different time that makes more sense
