You work with any young'uns? It would seem that schools don't teach signficant digits anymore! "The electronic display said 12.385", then you look at the accuracy of the sensor and it's +/-0.5%...

Andy_K and I measure our rides together by how many beers it takes to rehydrate afterwards. It's a good system.
