Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought.....the accuracy for that person's bad sprint was 33.5 divided by 60, or 55.83%.

However, I'm talking to a brick wall right now (that's my nickname for someone) who is calculating it at 20.90%. Admittedly I've lost patience and am probably not being objective, but I don't know how in the blue hell someone can take 60 actual hours, an estimate of 33.5 hours, and come up with an accuracy of 20.90%
