I blathered:
> 1 Black 1e0 First 2 digits give mantissa,
> 2 Brown 1e1 3rd digit gives exponent,
...
Philip Belben corrected:
Ouch! No, black is zero, brown is one, up to white
which is nine.
*Thank You, Philip*! I guess it just proves that it takes more than a copy
of Horowitz & Hill (who got it right) - one must also be *literate* to play
an EE...
The table I typed in was rotated by one digit. Ouch is right. Sorry about
that! And right on the heels of Mars Climate Meteorite, too....those who
don't study history and all that, I guess...
