Abstract
I was interested to see in a recent issue of the Gazette a note from Hoare and Wright [1] about the distribution of leading significant digits, l.s.d., and “Benford’s Law” that this distribution is logarithmic. This distribution has fascinated many people since Benford’s original observation [2] in 1938 of the dirty pages at the beginning of a book of log tables.
