I would suggest 72, split 41:1:30. That rounds to the percentages indicated, but it could be any multiple of 72, for example (absurdly) 72 000 000. 71 works ok for the 1.4% but not for the other two (not particularly close to integers).

To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, December 10, 2012, 4:30 PM How many people have voted. The fact that 1.4% voted for an alternative option suggests that 71 people have voted (or a multiple thereof since 71 * 1.4 give 100%). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 10 December 2012 20:46 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:52065] Re: Vote Now! I 'voted' (not expecting to be able to - I am not a US citizen), and looked at the results. Only two main voting blocs - no, and yes. (The other two in between vote options were irrelevant in terms of numbers.) 62.5% voted no, almost 37% voted yes. I suppose that could be considered as relatively positive in a country like the US - i.e. the pro-metric part of the overall population is probably much stronger than is realised. Is this enough to persuade the powers that be to 'go for it'?
