I believe here in America we think it's a vegtable.
You europers think it's a fruit.😉
I sought the numbers but it was unfruitful, soooo it must be a vegitable.😀

experimental methods have squeezed out a bit more:

"Today's best experimental value of 6.022 141 99 E23 mol-1 atoms per mol (obtained from NIST web site) is the best average for measurements using the best methods available. The experiments are often very difficult to carry out. That the number today has 8 significant figures is a testament to the quality of modern experimental methods."
