A number is converted to exponential notation using the division operator. It is then stored in a list element, then moved into another variable. Applying the log operator to the original and the list-copied variable results in very different numbers (in Scratch only, you must download to see the problem). I think what is happening is that when the number gets stored in exponential notation in the list it gets interpreted as a text string by the list. Then, when the value is dumped back into a variable, it looks correct, but internally it is being stored as a text string. So when the the log operator is applied to it, only the numeric portion (before the "e") is being processed by the operator.
