Apologies. I should have mentioned some of us use the Atlantean numbering system which has no #2, hence the confusion. It's believed Atlantis sank due to a similar error. You see, during a bad storm it happened that an immigrant North American was operating the emergency floatation system (quotas - what're ya gonna do?). He got so confused converting from English to Metric that he forgot about the missing digit. Kersplash.
Or, I'm just dumb-as-dirt this morning.
