Re^3: Fun Question: Square Root of 5 to 10000 digitsby zentara (Archbishop) |

With Math::MPFR, setting a default precision of 10000, means you have 10000 bits of precision, not 10000 decimal digits of precision. Doh! You are right, I was wondering last night why I was getting a 1/3 factor of digits. 10000 gave me ~ 3000 decimal places, while 100000 precision gave me ~30000 decimal places. I thought it might be the print accuracy needed to do the inverse, but I was wrong. Thanks for clearly that up. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
