Tangent of string of 5 (Posted on 2019-06-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Compute tan (1/55555) (angle is in degree) on a calculator.

in the denominator you can use any number of 5’s, the more the better. You should get an interesting number. Is it a coincidence, can you explain it?

Your calculation is being done in radian mode.  The puzzle called for degree mode.


In degree mode the calculator gives 3.14162406983059 * 10^-7
