[squid-users] Help on Refresh Pattern options

Hi there:
I'm having some problems understanding how the refresh_pattern options works.
The Squid guide says:

FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
STALE if age > max
FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
FRESH if age < min
else STALE

Min:
time (in minutes), an object without an explicit expire time should be
considered fresh.

Percent:
percentage of the objects age (time since last modification age) an
object without explicit expire time will be considered fresh.

Max:
upper limit on how long objects without an explicit expiry time will
be considered fresh.

So, my question is this; if the object's age is between Min and Max,
is it STALE or FRESH?
And how does the Percent option exactly works?

Thanks a lot!
