    My tcd login doesn't want to work for me, half the time I can't log into the macs an all... ah well. In the spirit of giving, here's a nice head-scratcher:

    I suggest going the "Click Show Solution" route ;P

    Use wthax.org

    My desktop is a running fridge!

    The 3 decimal places thing wasn't turned on... nah I wasn't even close with my answer, and "show solution" didn't make it any clearer...

    from one extreme to the other:

    Here's the solution:

    My issue is this: 5-5CosPi is not 10... not on my calculator anyway...

    5-5CosPi
    5-5(-1)
    5+5=10





    Use radians. ;)
