Stradivarius' constant

created by Sylvar

(idea) by Sylvar (1.2 wk) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Mon Dec 04 2000 at 20:19:29

As one of my sig files says:

"...This isn't true in practice - what we've missed out is Stradivarius' constant. For those of you who don't know, that's been called by others the fiddle factor..." -- from an EE lecture at Cambridge University

Synonymous with fudge factor, Riggs constant, etc.
