    Isn't two one-hundredths of a second one fiftieth of a second?

    But, one two-hundredth of a second would be a quarter of a fiftieth of a second?

    To avoid this sort of confusion, we usually rewrite the time using colloquialisms such as, "Suzie Breaststroke beat Madam Butterfly by a swollen gnat gonad in the 12-meter individual medley relay."
