I happened upon the following oddity using the OSX calculator (the
brushed metal one under Applications). This happens in 'advanced'
mode.
112*46 -> 5152
but:
112*4.6 -> 515.1999999999999
which should have been 515.2 obviously (and which it does produce in
'basic' mode). It reminded me of the Intel processor bug, and I hope
it tickles someone's curiosity and/or imagination. Eduard.
