Significant New Scientist显着的新科学家

The current issue of New Scientist alerted me to a fantastic bit of over indulgence of the最新一期新科学家提醒我到一个神奇位以上的，放纵的 sig figs SIG的无花果 front.前线。 Apparently, UK company Photobox offer 250 megabytes of storage space for just £8.50212765957447.显然，英国公司photobox提供250兆字节的存储空间，为刚刚£ 8.50212765957447 。 Astounding value.惊人的价值。

£8.50212765957447 is of course the charge net of value added tax (VAT), which happens to be 17.5%. 英镑8.50212765957447当然是负责网的加值税（ VAT ） ，这刚巧是17.5 ％ 。 So, what’s the VAT inclusive cost I wonder…£9.99 因此，什么样的增值税包容性的成本，我不知道… £ 9.99

D’oh!这样喔！

Maybe it’sa little in-joke on the part of Photobox, in which case good on them!也许有点在开玩笑，对部分photobox ，在这种情况下，良好的对他们的！

Until New Scientist mentioned this huge level of financial accuracy, the Photobox site was the only one listed in Google to quote the number £8.50212765957447.直到新科学家提到这个庞大的水平，财政的准确性， photobox网站是唯一一个列在Google引述人数£ 8.50212765957447 。 Now, with SigFigs joining in there should be three within the next couple of days and if anyone quotes from this blog entry there might be more.现在，随着sigfigs加入在应该有三个在未来数天内，如果任何人的报价从这个博客条目有可能更多。 This number could become more famous than pi…这个数字可能变得更加著名的比丕…

…or maybe not. … …或也许不会。
