BEGIN_PGML_HINT
1. When measuring liquid that has a menicus, always read from the bottom of the curve.

2. What is the quantity measured by the smallest lines on the graduated cylinder in these examples? In other words, how far apart are these markings?

a. [$tick0] mL

b. [$tick1] mL

This means that the measurement for these devices should be *one digit more precise* than this. This is called the guess digit and this will define the uncertainty for that measurement.
