: Are they failing in and around the <big> ''d<sub>j</sub>'' = <big><big><big>{</big></big></big> ... </big> ? If so, look (via edit) at the ''commented out'' (not normally visible) HTML code ''within'' the Rosetta Code task [[Leonardo numbers]] preamble, which (on my FireFox and IE Explorer web browsers) causes Rosetta Code to fail to render the equation correctly, in fact, it causes Rosetta Code to get a "time out". The HTML code that is commented out works correctly on Wikipedia, where the HTML code was originally copied from (<u>exactly</u> copied). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:01, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
:: This sounds like a firefox regression.

::: In my case, the FireFox that I run hasn't been updated (on my computer) for over three years now. So, ... no regression here. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:42, 6 November 2017 (UTC)^
:::: Let me explain a little further. When I use the original Leonardo HTML text (that fails), and then I see the failure(s) in parsing the HTML code, I then use (open) ''another'' Firefox session, I try to access the '''Rosetta Code''' site (https://rosettacode.org), Firefox comes back (eventually) and tells me that ''the Rosetta Code site is down or is busy, try again later''. I concluded that the Rosetta Code site is busy or stuck trying to complete and/or process the failing process and I also concluded that Rosetta Code is failing for all other requests/processes for all other Rosetta Code users during this time --- until I close the (Firefox) window that contains the error message(s). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
This page seems to be talking about the Jaro ''similarity'' (0=completely distinct, 1=identical), rather than the Jaro ''distance'' which is the other way around (0=identical, 1=maximally far apart). Propose that the task be renamed and the description reworded as such. --[[User:Markjreed|Markjreed]] ([[User talk:Markjreed|talk]]) 17:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Why is tat so?? --Walter Pachl 20:13, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
: I'd wager it's just floating point inaccuracy. Not all languages handle them the exact same way. Operation order also matters: floating point addition is not commutative. Given that, slight variations are probably to be expected. --[[User:Not a robot|Not a robot]] ([[User talk:Not a robot|talk]]) 23:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
