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

    • @ZardoDhieldor
      @ZardoDhieldor 8 ปีที่แล้ว +123

      You mean a Parker Square Root.

    • @Meegoue
      @Meegoue 8 ปีที่แล้ว +80

      sqrt(2) Parker Squared equals to 31.11!

    • @ZardoDhieldor
      @ZardoDhieldor 8 ปีที่แล้ว +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      Hey, illuminati, freemasons and reptilians, you are outdated.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!

    Actually Matt multiplied Root 2 by 22 the first time, Gaxio is not known for shoddy worksmanship.

    • @standupmaths

      Indeed! Gaxio also isn't known for plagiarizing.

    • @StreuB1
      @StreuB1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +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 ปีที่แล้ว +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

    • @TorgieMadison
      @TorgieMadison 8 ปีที่แล้ว +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?)

  • @MatthewWang-Yuyouweimen
    @MatthewWang-Yuyouweimen 8 ปีที่แล้ว +58

    Wow. When I was in middle school, everyone owned a calculator identical to this one. 'Poor' kids got this Gaxio and 'rich' kids got the Casio. ¥15 and ¥50 were the prices. I remember there was a third option - Kasio, also ¥15.

  • @TheFvpss
    @TheFvpss 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I graduated Civil Engineering using this exact calculator during the whole course (5 years + 1 year exchange). Now I'm 1 year through my Master degree and I NEVER NEEDED TO CHANGE ITS BATTERY! It has fallen violently to the ground dozens of times and it still calculates perfectly ^^ I'm seriously considering putting it on a glass container and exhibiting it on my main room.

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

      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.

  • @AlexAegisOfficial
    @AlexAegisOfficial 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I have a Casio fx-350ES (its almost the same as in the other video)
    If you enter a number which is longer than it could display it displays it in a more compact form. Like sqrt(17) -> sqrt(17) instead of a bunch of numbers. But if you want to see what are those numbers just press the SD button right above the DEL and AC buttons. And it converts the number to that form and back again if you press it again.

    • @okaro6595
      @okaro6595 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The ES series have two modes MthIO and LineIO. In the MthIO mode it calculates the exact result using fractions and roots. You can get the numeric one with SD or by pressing Shift =. In LineIO it works like a more traditional calculator. One can easily see the mode on the fact that on lineIO it shows 0 after AC. There are differences in how functions and fractions entered and displayed.
      I would love if it showed first the numeric result and the exact one after SD.

    This is an exact copy of the Fx 82 I had about 10 years ago as my secondary school calculator (or was that a copy of the Gaxio?)... even when everyone upgraded to the fx 83 and 85 GT plus, my little Fx 82 kept on going like the soldier it is. I still have it to this day!

    If you are one of the few who have wondered why the section at 2:53 has been removed, it can now be revealed. 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.

    @MasterHigure 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +2

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

    • @rdreher7380
      @rdreher7380 7 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

      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.
