My son got a calculator for secondary school in the autumn, so we took it for a test. He drew a series of triangles and measured the sides, then worked out their ratios and plotted them. Then we tried some other buttons on the calculator and discovered sin, cos and tan make the same values! #tmwyk

What on earth happened here? This is earlier today. I was at a bus stop in a village about 7.5 miles from Nottingham and asked Google Maps for public transport directions to Nottingham. It suggested getting a ride 99% of the way there, then getting a train to 9.6 miles from Nottingham, then walking back! Obviously a glitch, but what happened?
(We got the bus which took half an hour.)
