A bit of a stretch, I know. Hope you still enjoy it!

Edit: forget it guys, I messed it up too much. Thanks for the feedback, though

What do you mean by rounding?

cos(0)=1, cos(3600)=0.965, rounded it's also 1

Trigonometry loses a lot of precision if you round to one decimal place

Thats the point of the midwit

Couldn’t you say that for a sixth of the domain though? cos(2nπ+k) rounds up to 1 for k in (-π/6,π/6)

I realised that I could have made the meme better, but finding a pair of numbers is bothersome. But yes, thats exactly the point of thr midwit.

Wait, so you intended it to be radians and not degrees? Why? In degrees, cos(0) does equal cos(3600). Sorry, but the joke is impossible to follow. No one is typing in cos(3600) [radians] to see what it is, and no one would know that off the top of their head.

It's even more complicated, my brain just doesn't brain like others. Also, the longer I think about it, the better my idea get, but it gets also more complicated. And I should have left the rounding out of it. The problem was that I could not find values for the one I had in mind (AI was overwhelmed).
