An essential guide to recognizing bogus numbers and misleading data
Numbers are often intimidating, confusing, and even deliberately deceptive--especially when they are really big. The media loves to report on millions, billions, and trillions, but frequently makes basic mistakes or presents such numbers in misleading ways. And misunderstanding numbers can have serious consequences, since they can deceive us in many of our most important decisions, including how to vote, what to buy, and whether to make a financial investment. In this short, accessible, enlightening, and entertaining book, Brian Kernighan teaches anyone--even diehard math-phobes--how to demystify the numbers that assault us every day. Giving you the simple tools you need to avoid being fooled by dubious numbers, Millions, Billions, Zillions is an essential survival guide for a world drowning in big--and often bad--data.Binding Type: Paperback

Gets Job Done. Good Price.
Size: 36mm
I used this to take the large bolt off the triple tree clamp on my motorcycle. For this purpose it worked great. I doubt I'll need to do this often and I'm unlikely to ever own the vehicles who's oil filter it fits but glad I bought it. If you need a 36mm bolt undone and have a 3/8th drive wratchet this is an economical way to get it done.

High quality
Size: 36mm
Perfect fit for my 2008 Audi TT oil filter cap. FYI, don't bother removing the plug in the cap if it is stripped. Mine was stripped by Audi mechanics and I thought it held the cap in place. It does not. I tried to loosen it with a chisel and broke the cap. An expensive, rookie mistake.
