Actually, 11. :-) Another point that was still not emphasized enough: that's why Python's documentation at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict says: "Note however, that since computers store floating-point numbers as approximations it is usually unwise to use them as dictionary keys."
