fraggle Posted August 15, 2003 Google now has a calculator function! It even does complex math, natural language processing, measurement conversions and knows about practically every constant you can think of.1+1 sqrt(-1) e^(pi*i)+1=0 mass of the moon mass of the moon in milligrams 1 tablespoon in liters answer to life the universe and everything answer to life the universe and everything + 1 half an inch in centimeters avogrados constant / 400 mph (no, this doesnt make any sense, but it shows it knows about units) 1337 in binary one hundred and eighty seven plus one Pretty cool, huh? 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted August 15, 2003 Pretty sweet stuff, that. :) EDIT: Heh. 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, as given by the supercomputer Deep Thought to a group of mice in Douglas Adams's comic science fiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. According to the Guide, mice are 3-dimensional profiles of a pan-dimensional, super-intelligent race of beings. They built Deep Thought, the second greatest computer of all time and space, to tell them the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. After seven and a half million years the computer divulges the answer: 42. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted August 15, 2003 Zoorado said:And a googolplex is better than a googol. Tried that, but Google didn't like it. I also tried Skewes number. The calculator doesn't seem to handle numbers 10^309 or larger. Furlongs per century is fairly cool though, don't you think? By popular request: speed of light in yottameters per yoctosecond a baker's dozen divided by a fortnight And heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
