As for the last part, you appaerntly overlooked applying the MAX(..) function in your calculations:

According to the table from the above link, the result precision is: p1 - s1 + s2 + max(6, s1 + p2 + 1) = 38 - 10 + 10 + max(6, 10 + 38 + 1) = 38 + 49 = 87.

should be:

1: p1 - s1 + s2 + max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)

= 38 - 10 + 10 + max(6, 10 + 38 + 1)

= 38 + max(6, 49)

= 38 + 6

= 38 *(applying the rule of absolute 38 max)

and:

The result scale is: max(6, s1 + p2 + 1) = max(6, 10 + 38 + 1) = 49.

should be:

2: max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)

= max(6, 10 + 38 + 1)

= max(6, 49)

= 6
