Kind of. That was a 103kt reading = 118.45mph.
So with some unusual rounding, sure, they did.

Yeah, unusual is right. You round 118.45 to 118.5 then round 118.5 to 119 :roll: .

Yeah, unusual is right. You round 118.45 to 118.5 then round 118.5 to 119 :roll: .


Go to google.com and type in "103 knots in mph". :wink:

I get 118.52

1 knot is equal to 1.1507 mph

But most people use hundreths and actually round it to 1.15 and therefore you would get 118.45

I know it goes to 1.150779 , I just don't know if there are any additional points beyond that hundred thousandths


Man, I am a geek :)

With all the sensationalism going on with the networks right now, you guys are debating the difference between 118.45 and 119 mph? Hate to burst your bubble, but with the scenario getting ready to unfold, it doesn't make a hill of beans of difference. Relax :D
