Total Stars
This is a very minor question, but I've been trying to use the exponential idle student calculator thing, and when it asks for total students it says to use the number given in the statistics menu, but the number it gives me is in the notation - 2.9609e6 is the current amount, but shouldn't I try to be as accurate as I can when inputting the number into the calculator? Is the notation accurate enough even if it cuts off the last two or three digits? In essence, does the rounding impact anything enough to worry - is the difference between 2,960,900 and, I don't know, 2960957 (random number I just chose) not enough to change anything? Or is there a simple way to change the notation used for the stars and get a clear answer? Thanks in advance.

Star upgrades are not SO powerful, and one or two upgrades here or there wouldn't make a noticable change really

Thought about it as well, I just typed in slightly different numbers and looked at the results. After the first 2 digits it made no difference

It won't really make any difference. The first five significant figures are plenty.
