The gravitational constant has proven very difficult to measure. The recommended max significant figure is actually a bit more, at 6. More than what they had but it is still a strong limit to modern measurement. The memory I had of this was wrong on length but my statement still holds. Anything using G will be stuck to 6 digits.
