HP-65 accuracy error
Everyone who uses the HP-65 needs to be aware of the known accuracy error in the y^x function for larger values.

10 ENTER 6 Y^X yields 1000000 as expected
10 ENTER 7 Y^X yields 9999999.99
10 ENTER 8 Y^X yields 99999999.60

the error gets greater the larger you go.

Just be aware.
