It seems that sig figs will haunt me all my life. And to every teacher/prof the rules are different for adding/subtracting and multiplying.

Yeah, I can't really do that in medicine. Could kill someone I guess......Really really lame though. Ever since I set foot in Chem and most of my points off come from a wrong number of sig figs. Tomorrow I have the Pharmaceutics test (math).

There goes my grade.
