His maths-module is screwed over.

Each person has two parents, so each person can inherit for 50% from his/her parent.
Lets say one of your grandfathers was German and all the others were French, then you'd be 25% German and 75% French. Now lets use four levels instead of three: inheritance is 12.5% per person then. Three persons should be German to get 37.5% inheritance, which isn't 40%, obviously. Adulese, your maths are flawed.

I think he was just rounding it.

Well, I'm completely German on my father's side, but on my mother's almost everyone came from the Prussian area, which was absorbed by Germany and Poland. A good chunk went to Poland and a small bit went to Germany. I averaged it out in my head and I'm pretty sure I'm around that.

lolol my entire family is from Poland…my parents moved to Canada back in the early 80's so I am the first one out of my family to be born in Canada...I have visited Poland a few times..last time I went was last summer (I also went to other parts of Europe)..it's really interesting and fun to go travelling to other countries, amazing experience...plus I got drunk often and met quite a few lady friends out there ;)  If you have not traveled anywhere in your life, I suggest you save up money for a trip! Treat yourself to one, you deserve it ;)

I'd call rounding getting rid of (a part of) the mantissa in a real number, not getting two and a half units off the actual value.

Get a sheet of paper and a pen and do the proper calculation next time. It isn't that hard, especially since I did the proper calculation in my head.
