If you didn't know to mix them up before you separated them into portions, you'd conceivably have different formats in each little pile you made.

>Hi Lar,
That's not what I was referring to. I was referring to the above statement of yours "a 1/3 is....etc.". I worry about splitting the pills up because of this.
