I answer like that when someone asks me if I'm sure about something. I only answer in increments of 5, though.

Yeah, being too specific just raises more questions in people.

If I say I am 92.6% sure, they look at me funny.

If you ask me at what time we should meet, there's a 78.8174% chance I'll say somethink like "8:51" or "12:27", then i message you shortly before and say "sorry I might be 17 seconds late" (but I'll make a point coming precisely at the time I said)
