    Fails to type in the sqrt(2) test correct. What a Parkersquare. xD

    • @ZardoDhieldor
      @ZardoDhieldor 8 лет назад +122

      You mean a Parker Square Root.

    • @Meegoue
      @Meegoue 8 лет назад +80

      sqrt(2) Parker Squared equals to 31.11!

    • @ZardoDhieldor
      @ZardoDhieldor 8 лет назад +34

      Meegoo You have to say it ambiguously like this: "sqrt(2) squared is two. But if you Parker square it, you get 31.11..."

      This is how subcultures and conspiring groups are formed: they know something no others do.
      Hey, illuminati, freemasons and reptilians, you are outdated. Give way to the Circle of the Parker Square whose symbol is, of course, a triangle!

    • @StreuB1
      @StreuB1 8 лет назад +41

      The problem lies in that √2 is 1.414... and not 1.411... that the calculator returns, but when multiplied by 22, the result is the correct response for 1.414.... and not 1.411....
      The calculator cannot calculate the root properly but recognises the sequence √2 * 22 and yielded the proper result.

    • @kevfquinn
      @kevfquinn 8 лет назад +31

      I guess not only is the 5th digit not displaying properly, the same is happening on the 4th digit, so where it should have shown 4 it shows 1 - the same happened on sqrt(17) where it displayed 4.121... instead of 4.123. So a broken display. I guess as LCD displays are such bleeding edge technology, it's difficult to get it right ;)

    • @cnstntn32
      @cnstntn32 8 лет назад +1

    • @TorgieMadison
      @TorgieMadison 8 лет назад +1

      Not just 31.11, but accurate for every decimal place on the display... minus the wonky 5th digit display, which could have gone wrong in shipping. (8 - 8^(8-8) for durability?)

      That is because Gaxio is all about ergonomic design and display technology. They outsource almost all their boards to 3rd party manufacturers. This is why when you want to get a really great Gaxio, you need to buy about two dozen of them, crack them all open and look for the ones with the true Gaxio circuit boards, those are the true gems.

      What went into your decision of giving its cred an 8 may I ask, highly contentious result in the Calculator Community, forums have exploded in the last hour because of this. I can only speak for the Irish calculator scene, but here people can't get enough of the Gaxio, it's went double platinum in imports. People are digging the oriental feel to it and the hipster indie vibe only a Gaxio can bring

    Nice try, but you can't just simply take the chinese characters for 8, put three of them in succession and claim it's the same amount as 888.

      You almost heard it: Casio should expect an expensive action at law as soon as Gaxio is informed that their design is stolen. Obviously, Matt does not want to be involved at this early stage. Rather, he is going to be the expert witness in court due to his considerable experience in unboxing calculators and documented knowledge of square root of 2 in any colour and size.

    7:28 八八八 is just three 8's placed next to one another, as in "eight-eight-eight". It looks like a phone number or something. If you want the number "eight hundred and eighty-eight", then you need to intersperse it with 百 (hundred) and 十 (ten) like so: 八百八十八.

    • @black_platypus
      @black_platypus 8 лет назад +2

      well, tbh, I'm not entirely sure adding 8+8+8 would even amount to eight hundred and eighty-eight

    • @rdreher7380
      @rdreher7380 7 лет назад +3

      I gotta say, first of all, it doesn't really matter. They weren't really going for accuracy, they were making a joke about 8's cultural significance in Chinese. That's why they "added" 8+8+8+8+8+8 to 888 not 48.
      Second of all, I would be willing to place a bet that in Chinese 888 sometimes is in fact written 八八八. Now, I have not studied Chinese, but I have studied Japanese, which you should know uses the same numerals. And in Japanese, just like you suggest about Chinese, 888 could be written as 八百八十八 (happyaku hachijuu hachi), except this is like writing out "eight hundred and eighty eight" in English. You will almost never see this.
      What you will very often see though, besides of course Arabic numerals, is something like 八八八. You often see this style in restaurant menus, for example. 800 yen might be 八〇〇円 and so forth. 888 yen would be a strange price, but my point is you can sometimes see numbers written with Chinese numerals that way.
      Now, if you are a native Chinese speaker I will take you word for it that Chinese people don't use Hanzi numerals that way. But if you are just a learner, you might want to do some more research into it. I'd be interested to know myself if only the Japanese do this.

Mr. standupmaths had slipped in a subtle plug for his forthcoming Parker Square Kit, including this masterpiece Gaxio calculator, the calculator uniquely capable of producing the numbers within the illustrious magic square, and perhaps 4 dimensional Parker Squares with a little more time and effort.
