Thanks for Google Calculator. It;s great.
ReplyDeleteIs the calculator getting dumber?
ReplyDeleteSome of these examples do not seem to work now (September 2007).
By "not work", I mean doing a google search does not invoke the calculator on those.
Half of them (5) did not work on some of my trials.
"Half a cup in teaspoons" seems to work some times, but not always.
Try it on server 72.14.207.107 .
The other four I can't get to work at all.
See also blogoscoped.
well i think that bing has a better then googles way better use that if your stuck duh.
DeleteMost work. The only examples that don't work:
ReplyDeleteOunces in a shot
Half a cup in teaspoons
Maybe Google things these queries aren't very appropriate for an instant answer.
Here are links to the search urls at google.com.
ReplyDeleteThe starred examples 3, 7, 8, and a variant of 10 do not provide an answer.
Examples 9 and 10 produce a wiki answer, but not a calculator answer.
Apparently that is preventing the calculator from answering a variant of 10.
A more detailed analysis can be found at blogoscoped.
1. What's the answer to life, the universe and everything?
2. How many seconds in a decade?
3. Speed of light *[does not invoke calculator]
4. 17 to binary
5. e^((pi)*i)+1
6. 10th root of 1024
7. Half a cup in teaspoons *[does not invoke calculator, sometimes "Book results"]
cup/2 in teaspoons [variant: invokes calculator]
8. Ounces in a shot *[does not invoke calculator]
9. When is Easter 2006? [invokes wiki, not calculator]
10. Earth mass in kg [invokes wiki, not calculator]
Earth mass in grams *[variant: does not invoke calculator or wiki]
1 * earth mass in kg [variant: invokes calculator]
Tony Ruscoe noted at blogoscoped that the queries are case sensitive. In nine of the ten examples using the case Google recognizes will invoke the calculator.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me that, for example, "half a cup in teaspoons" works while "Half a cup in teaspoons" does not. Does this match with all your experiences?
ReplyDeleteyeah same here , if I use capitals won`t work. maybe there are few conversions in some units that are case sensitive.
ReplyDeletetry this:
ReplyDelete-15 in two's complement
17 to binary
ReplyDeleteAnswer: 0b10001
does anyone knows how to transform from binary back ?
@Marius:
ReplyDelete0b10001 to decimal
i can't even get it to frickin' work!!
ReplyDeleteHow many smoots in a mile
ReplyDeletethis is the worst calculator ever
ReplyDeleteIt's because a shot is an ounce technically. Some corporate chains use an ounce and a quarter or an ounce and a half as some kind of marketing gimmick but it's still technically the same.
ReplyDeletei dont see a calculater on this whole page but if it had a calculater it would be very handy and i just want to say um hi
ReplyDelete1 shot = 45 milliliters
ReplyDelete1 ounce = 30 millilters
That's why a shot = "an ounce and a half"
thanx ya helped

ReplyDeleteCalculators are outstanding! They are the best BEST invention since the Wii Fit Plus and penicillin. :)
ReplyDeletehonestly, it's like any other calculator you can buy for like 99 cents, but hey! its free :D
ReplyDeleteits great but it doesnt explain how to work it out like how did u do it
ReplyDeleteits like a normal one but just more accurate
ReplyDeleteit calculates bits to kilobits wrong.
ReplyDelete1 kilobit = 1000 bits not 1024 bits.
however, 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes
No, you're the one who is wrong.
Delete1 kilobit = 1000 bits
1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes
1 kibibit = 1024 bits
1 kibibyte = 1024 bytes
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibit
