			Q&A: THE PENTIUM FDIV BUG

Q:	How many Pentium designers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A:	1.99904274017, but that's close enough for non/technical people.

Q:	What do you get when cross a Pentium PC wit a research grant?
A:	A mad scientist.

Q:	What's another name for "Intel Inside" sticker they put on Pentium?
A:	Warning label.

Q:	What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium?
A:	Successive aproximations.

Q:	Complete the following word analogy: Add si to Subtract as 
	Multiply is to: 1. Divide
			2. Round
			3. Random
			4. On a Pentium, all of the above
A:	Number 4.

Q:	What algorithm did Intel use in the Pentium's floating point divider?
A:	"Life is like a box of chocolates." (Source: F. Gump of Intel)

Q:	Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A:	Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and
	they got 585.999983605.

Q:	According to Intel, the Pentium conforms to the IEEE standards 754
	and 854 for floating point arithmetic. If you fly in aircraft
	designed using Pentium, what is the correct pronounciation of
