Jake said on 02/02/12 @ 09:30 AM: D'oh! Fixed. Thanks.
John said on 02/18/12 @ 07:30 PM: As long as Greg posted about 'fun with math', I might as well tell that you need to fix the number in the example, too. Should be 998001, not that 1.0019939679963126621977735694031e-5 isn't funny. It is just not a funny as 1.002003004005006007008009010011e-6.
