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?

To be honest, Charlie, I assumed there was an error in the question, because degrees just produces tan(pi/10^n) with an obvious result, given that tan(x) is approximately x for very small x.


I apologise if that was wrong.
