: There is a similar formula on the corresponding Wikipedia article, and the associated reference indicates indeed that Carlos's papers only included the rounded figure of 78.0¢ per step. Nonetheless, if we are to believe that the 78.0¢ figure was obtained using the same formula, then it seems natural for one to want the exact figure, or at least a more accurate one. I haven't checked the original papers to see if they included the formula or an equivalent explanation, so that might require some fact-checking to be sure. That said, I agree that the three-decimals figure (77.965¢) is not of a "standard" by any means that I know of, except maybe that the Xen Wiki tends to keep cents values to three decimals most of the time.
