I think of "an order of magnitude" as a log scale. It means somewhere between 3.16X and 31.6X.

- jjtheblunt 1y agoyeah that's what i meant with 10x, like it's +1 on the exponent, if base is 10. but i'm guessing what others are thinking, hence the question.
- bxparks 1y agoThe problem is that 10x appears to be a linear scale. It could mean 9.5x to 10.5x if it's supposed to have 2 significant digits. Or it could be 5x to 15x if it meant to have 1 significant digit.
