Fence post error
"The whole salvo took 224 seconds (3 minutes, 44 seconds) with a 14 second interval between launches." This is incorrect, an example of a Fence post error. 16 x 14 = 224, but product should be 15 x 14 = 210. Hamish59 (talk) 14:48, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The numbers are for sure rounded and the launch itself is not instantaneous. Simple math calculations do not apply here. 46.39.169.168 (talk) 10:43, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; then the sentence needs to be rewritten to remove the "maths caclulation". So,
 * "The whole salvo took 224 seconds (3 minutes, 44 seconds)."
 * or
 * "The whole salvo took 224 seconds (3 minutes, 44 seconds) with approximately 15 second intervals between launches."
 * Question is: did the while launch take 224 seconds or was it 14 seconds between lanches and did someone make a mistake in getting the 224 second number? The two numbers (14 and 224) are contradictory, so which is correct?  Hamish59 (talk) 11:54, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
