!!!!

is this a bug?

Answer 1

Yahoo works in mysterious ways.

The above answer is correct, too -- you can't use a percent sign without taking a risk. Makes math and science questions and answers sort of difficult. Good thinking, Yahoo programmers.

Answer 2

Dunno but if you use the percent sign, you will get the "coffee break" screen.

Answer 3

27

Answer 4

because maybe it"s harder to read that way.  # is used as a pound sign on some electronic devices.It;s the same way when you use + instead of "and". in a sentence.  Just a little harder to read.

Answer 5

Okay #9 , your order is up. And: 69% of percentiles are made up in the spot.

Edit: I still have the #, and no coffee break for % one.
