Item 4 is stated incorrectly: the quotient of two digits can be $\frac12$, but it can’t be $50$%.
The first two items tell us that the number has the form $a.bcd$, and the third tells us that $a,b,c,d\in\{0,1,2\}$. Item 4 says that $a=2d$. Item 5 says that two of the digits are $0$. Item 6 says that $|a-d|=1$; since $a=2d$, we must have $a=2$ and $d=1$, so the number is $2.001$. The remaining conditions are superfluous.

0@Todd: You’re right about Item 3; I read too quickly and registered it as $\le 9$. I don’t consider $50$% an acceptable substitute for $\frac12$ in this context: the result of dividing one integer by another is not$a$percentage unless the context calls for one. – 2012-11-12
