It's clearly a lot of fun, although I haven't read all the posts.
I did read those from Roberto, so the issue itself is quite clear. 

Problem:
    Some numbers don't format correctly with '%i'.
Reason:
    Integers in Lua aren't really integers. They're doubles.  
Solution:
    Never use '%i'.  Always use '%.f'.
