Q&A:  THE PENTIUM FDIV BUG
 >
 > Q:  How many Pentium designers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
 > A:  1.99104274017, but that's close enough for non-technical people.
 >
 > Q:  What do you get when you cross a Pentium PC with a  research grant?
 > A:  A mad scientist.
 >
 > Q:  What's another name for the "Intel Inside" sticker they put on
 >     Pentiums?
 > A:  The warning label.
 >
 > Q:  What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium?
 > A:  Successive approximations.
 >
 > Q:  Complete the following word analogy:  Add is 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 got
 >     585.991983605.
