½, 0.5 and 1/2 are the same answer.
Numbers are marked with a tolerance, and the unit is optional: 28 and 28 g/mol both count. Decimal commas, 2^3, √ and $40 are all read. If Felt can't read what you typed, it says so instead of marking it wrong.
The checker is separate from the model that writes the course. Felt computes every numeric key from the exercise's own formula; if the author's stated answer disagrees, the validator flags it and the author has to fix it. "Ask why" is there on correct answers too, in case a key wrongly accepted you.
