It contains the number 8 though. So how does that work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It contains the numbers 8x10^7 and 8x10^1, but not 8x10^0

Well, simple. Jest substitute that 8 with the above approximation.

Change the 21 at the end of the first number to 12 and its perfect. It was only ever 9 away.
