I got "find the least real zero of the polynomial: -7 * 4 - 7". Somehow I doubt "mu" would be accepted.

(That sort of think has only shown up once over multiple refreshes though.)

Just to prove you are a human, please answer the following math challenge.

-6 + 5 * 0 = ?

(I guess I just got lucky?)

I got d/dx(2sin(3pi)+0) el oh el, I suppose I got lucky also.

I got that one too, and misinterpreted it as I always do and made it stupidly complex in my head. For a minute, I thought it was asking for the least real, i.e. most imaginary, zero.
