I do wonder about what rules apply to this kind of question. It's an
arithmetic question, not a trivia question. Are we allowed to use paper
and pencil? Or do we have to do all the calculations in our head?

misread the number. I failed to observe that 9*9 does not end in 9, and
Mark did not notice that the sum of the digits in 15129 is 9, and thus the
answer must be divisible by 3.
For my part, I blame it on that it was too early in the morning and I
haven't had my cup of tea yet.

In Swedish, we use comma as the decimal separator, and thousands separator

is officially no-break space. Dots can appear in older sources, but
never comma.
Both I and Björn have a programming background, why using a decimal point is
nothing strange, and may even come naturally. I seem to recall that the
standards sort of change while I was in school, so that I was taught one
separator one year and another separator the next year. (So the lapse did
not really work as Mark assumed.)
I also read the number as decimal at first, but I quickly realised that
would be a completely pointless question to ask in a trivia game.

The key is to identify that the number is divisible by 9 and that the answer
must end in 3. Then you need to do some math to find the range where the
answer is hiding.
The correct answer to Björn's assumed question is according to an SQL Server
instance near me 3.8896015220071067, so his guess of 3.9 is correct to
the precision he gave.

',' is thousand-separator in English ...
Actually, I'm used to translate the Swedish decimal character ',' to the
English '.' but here I did not even think of it.
We use space ' ' as thousand-separator.
(And when programming I use '_' as in 20_000_000, instead of 20000000,
however the '_' does not *need* to be thousand-separator.
That language is Ada)

I was a bit surprised by the question, but did not think too much of it.
But now I see that it was more to it.
