I just don't get the references to 1/100 in today's crossword. Please can anyone help? Thanks!

(Maybe one per cent of the people on the Isle of Man are called Douglas.)

Ah, thanks. But I don't see why it says 1/100.
Is this 1/100 just in the Douglas clue or in several clues?

Yes in posting myself at 09:32 I was a few seconds too late in submitting. Must try harder

[dannyk13]

If only in the one clue check this

I can see 1/100 is a hundredth and it's the hundredth year of the weekly or was the 100th year of Kirk Douglas- but it seems an odd place to throw it in

[fiction-factory]

Of course it be a Grauniad typo

[dannyk13]

Best I can come up with.

All the people who are answers to the clues ending with 1/100 reached 100 years old.
