Five common mistakes

  1. Mixing units — entering height in centimeters but weight in pounds. Timezone Converter can't tell, and gives a confidently wrong answer.
  2. Forgetting decimals — typing "170" when you mean "1.70m". One extra digit changes everything.
  3. Rounding inputs too aggressively — small inputs to a sensitive formula amplify error.
  4. Trusting the output absolutely — a calculation from Timezone Converter is a data point. Real decisions need more context.
  5. Using the wrong formula entirely — there's a closely related formula for almost every calc. Check that Timezone Converter is the one you actually need.
