The 35 (three versions) and all the classic calculators return 8.000000002 for 2^3 and not 8.000000003, as written, where am I wrong? the same result on the woodstocks up to the 25

Oops! You're quite right. Let's call it a typo (even though it was more accurately a braino).

OH NO! We covered all this just 3 years ago, but I don't remember having done so AT ALL. The conclusion is undeniable: I'm now officially OLD... two months before my 65th birthday.

But I *DO* remember that I enjoy playing with HP calculators, so at least I still have that.

I think so, Bob

No, all the replies above say that their HP-22 returns exactly 8, which disagrees with the commonly told story that the first HP with the new accuracy was the HP-91. That common misconception should be corrected. But now please excuse me, I need a nap.
