Well, after coming up with that idea, I had to try it and it doesn't quite
work... I guess the problem is that since character values are greater
than 10, they would have to be divided by more than that otherwise they
would end u affecting thte previous decimal place (if you follow that)...
Maybe I can come up with something tomorrow, it's too late and got to do
any prolonged thinking right now :)
