    In response to the comment added by @GSLikesCats307, "When the comic was first published the number was −0.00000000000000017 days": Perhaps Randall was just trying to make things a bit more realistic. I've shown a realistic example that could generate −0.00000000000000044. My experiments didn't find any examples that could generate −0.00000000000000017. —Scs (talk) 15:15, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
