How do I use dice to create random decimal numbers?

Diceware Passphrase FAQ
Roll a die twice for each digit and then use the following table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 1 2 3 4 5 * e 2 6 7 8 9 0 * c 3 1 2 3 4 5 * o 4 6 7 8 9 0 * n 5 1 2 3 4 5 * d 6 6 7 8 9 0 * Roll the first die again when ever you get a *. Each random digit adds 3.3 bits of entropy. Note: You really don't need the table to use this method: Just roll a die until you get a number that isn't 6. Then roll the die again. If the second result is even, add 5 to the first number you got. Treat a ten as a zero. See similar questions...

How do you convert degrees, minutes, and seconds to and from a decimal number?

DCP: Frequently Asked Questions
Example: To convert 49 degrees 30 minutes and 45 seconds to decimal degrees: dn = 49 + 30/60 + 45/3600 = 49.5125 Note that int(n) denotes taking the integer part of a number (e.g. int(49.5125) = 49) and frac its fractional part (e.g. frac(49.5125) = 0.5125). mi is an intermediate result. Example: To convert 49.5125 decimal degrees to degrees, minutes and seconds: d = int(49.5125) = 49 mi= frac(49.5125)*60 = 0.5125*60 = 30.75 m = int(mi) = int(30.75) = 30 s = frac(mi)*60 = 0.

Should I send my instrument bezel lenses or remove them?

F.A.Q.
If they are hot melted to the core bezel then leave them intact and we will remove them. Clear lenses have become more and more of a problem as the years progress. We may not be able to buff or polish certain lenses because they are susceptible to fracturing. We have found over the last few years that due to the age of the lenses and their possible brittle state, when polishing the lens, they fracture making it nearly impossible to see through.

Markwell's Update to FAQ
Take the integer (whole number) - positive is North and East, negative is South and West - and set it aside. The remaining decimals would be multiplied times sixty to get minutes. Example: the Sears Tower in Chicago is located at 41.878928? -87.636415?. For the latitude... N41? 52.736 Now try the math on your own: Longitude -87.636415? will convert to W087? 38.185. To reverse the process, take the minutes portion and divide by 60, then tag it on to the degrees. West" is negative: -87. See similar questions...
