But note that the first three values are given to only 3 significant digits (and the last one to 4). That means that when you calculate with these numbers your results will be good only to about 3 significant digits -- unless the "true" values in the third-party source were 3.92000000000000, 5.43000000000000, and so on. To replicate a third-party precisely you need the original data to maximal precision. Allin Cottrell
