saw a 2nd year CS guy run a maze solver (for final exam) with 300 nested if-statements. worked about 50% of the time. so he added another 5000 nested ifs and got it up to 90%. good enough!

I'm using it regularly to convert metric into imperial fractions.
I'm writing for a factory that is manufacturing windows and door so I'm this field everything is imperial imperial fractions. When I arrived we switched all the internal measurement to metric because imperial SUCKS for automatic processes.
I still need to do the conversion for everything that will be shown to the client.
