You are doing a physics homework problem. How many significant figures do you report?

It depends on the number of figures used in the statement of the problem.

I give all the digits my calculator provides.

I do my homework calculations using Mathematica so I can provide even more digits than the calculator.

Dude, I'm a humanities major. "Significant Figure" means somebody like Winston Churchill or Ferdinand de Saussure.

As a being of pure intellect, I scorn problems with numerical answers. I can't resist a radio-button poll, though.
