Answer this question in exact form.

When a question is asked in such a way that a numerical value should be given as the answer, please god dammit give the numerical value.

Example

"How much did you score for your English paper?"
"Enough."

Does this logically answer the question? How would I know what enough is? Is there a standardized measurement of enough being enough? Anyway, what is enough for you may be different then enough from me? I could be thinking that 60 would be "enough", but you could be actually scoring 80. This is not specific and does not answer the question. If you were working and someone asks you "What is the percentage turnover for the fourth quarter" Would you reply "All right?" There is no reason to be shy about giving the values. If it is high so be it, if it is low so be it.
