    The Cannon Arc Design looks inaccurate, but it is actually really precise; when multiplying the square root of 2 by itself, any good calculator will say it's 2, but in race mode, this calculator has taken the values as velocities and, considering special relativity, it has given us an even more precise result!

    are there any calculators designed specifically for "in a bin" use? also if I use a regular calculator in a bin, does it void the warranty? thank you

    • @wtfiswiththosehandles
      @wtfiswiththosehandles 8 років тому +82

      +karffiol - I never had a calculator designed for bin use, and I regret it. I accidentally used my Citizen calculator in a bin, and it stopped working.
      When I tried to make a warranty claim, the technician instantly recognized that it was misused (bin use) and refused to fix it.

    • @RFC3514
      @RFC3514 10 років тому +35

      The first calculator has 8 digits, the third has 12, and both round to the last digit. That makes the third calculator about 10 thousand times more accurate than the first.

      watch it again, the first one came up with 1,99...98 as the answer to sqrt(2)², the second had it as 1,99...99 while even displaying more digits. also, it switched to racing mode!!!1

      must have been calculated using one of those two calculators.

    • @ppp9922
      @ppp9922 10 років тому

      probably cause it had more operations.
      so percentage wise its the same accuracy but straight number wise it would be higher.

    This was a great change-of-pace video! Slightly informative and much more than slightly funny. Great bit about the topology of the cuboid

    Is 7*7 a kind of a special test for calculators? (A common procesor error or something?)

      Probably not, just to figure out and show that its working

      They were mocking the fact that they didn't have any sophisticated tests

      +Владимир Кузнецов No just an accuracy test.1divided by 7 times seven should give exactly 1 but many calculators dont and give you 0.99999998 or something like that.
