Re: EXCEL2002 Forensics Message #1 Posted by Gordon Dyer on 15 Jan 2003, 1:16 p.m. I just tried : =degrees(asin(acos(atan(tan(cos(sin(9*pi()/180)))))) on EXCEL2002 and got a very good result of 9.000000000000010 Well done Microsoft!

Re: EXCEL2002 Forensics Message #2 Posted by Karl Schneider on 15 Jan 2003, 8:54 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer I got the same result of 9.000000000000010 on Excel 97. BTW, Gordon omitted one close-paren. The formula should read: =DEGREES(ASIN(ACOS(ATAN(TAN(COS(SIN(9*PI()/180)))))))
