Yes.

OK, the long answer:
0.5 is too little.
1 is way too much.
2/3 seemed about right, but when I did a single small playtest, was
overpriced,
so I split the difference with 1/2. I'd even say 2/3 for B-1/3s (but not
PDS)
is still more appropriate.

It was also a comment on the difficulties of non-integer costs.

But you're right about Zen and Transcendental meditation - figured
I could say all of the above in 8 non-blank characters. OK, so maybe I'm
a little irrational, and bordering on the ab-surd.

Feel free to simplify(?) the result to 7/12.
