When submitting a numeric answer make sure you are using an integer, decimal or scientific
notation and do not use spaces or commas. Unless otherwise indicated, to be scored as correct
your answer must be within 1% of the correct answer, the Quest system will calculate answers to
at least six digits. For most problems in Quest the system does not calculate based off significant
figures.
You can use scientific notation for very large or very small numbers. For example within Quest
you could write 468 as 4.68e+02.
