They are not LEDs, but vacuum fluorescent tubes. Soviet calculator LEDs were only red, very similar to HP's.

Quote:That is the result of 3 ENTER 3 x^y... and it takes about four seconds to give the result. Happily, 3 ENTER 3 x 3 x does give 27. Just imagine running the Soviet space program on these buggers!!!

These calculators do not distinguish between real and integer numbers when calculating power functions, they always do them as x^y=10^(y*lg(x)). And unlike many Casios and TIs, they DO NOT hold one or two more digits in memory, they hold only what they display...
