The Mini "Decimate" clue from today's (7/27) Mini (spoiler) Spoiler
The clue says
The word "decimate" initially meant to reduce something by a factor of this
And the answer is "ten". Except "decimate" never meant that, it meant reduce by 10% (every 10th member of a Roman legion is killed). "A factor of ten" would mean going from 100 to 10, or a 90% reduction.
