(28,394 posts)Being able to solve that problem has nothing to do with intelligence. It only proves that the "girl" has studied trig or whatever that gobbledy-gook is. He's not worth the effort.

(1 post)Yep. I agree (worked it out using Maxima CAS package).
Overseas, but where? It's definitely outside the USA (the use of 0,5 to represent 1/2, and eleven digit phone numbers would suggest that).
I would suspect this is a marketing ploy to get folks to call that number.

(6,154 posts)It would take some time but any decent symbolic math program or good calculator can solve that just by plugging in the numbers. And two no self respecting math or psychics buff uses degrees in their calculations. Sin and cos is always done in radians.
Just my 2 cents.

(44,228 posts)cos(60) and sin(30) both go to 1/2 when using degrees, but give some godawful number in rads.
It's straight forward except for this part:
I read that to read as the square root of the half-root of 16, which is 16, times sin(30) times cos(60) = 4
Final number I got was 87051515887, which isn't much of a phone number.

(6,154 posts)30 degrees is ?/6 radians.
And 60 is ?/3 and that's usually how you would write it.
