Huh??? 45 degres = 100 % hows that a multiply/divide by 2?

That's all the math some people can handle.

No ****. I'll try to figure out what I was thinking about in a minute
or so. Maybe...

It works some of the time - for 35 degrees, slope is 70 percent.

Just be thankful they weren't trying to measure the angle in radians.

ROUGHLY half or double. Granted, precision counts for a lot. Still...

There are 10 types of people in this world,
those who understand binary and those who don't.

From 0 to 20 degrees, tan() is also roughly the same as sin(), so you throw that page out of your CRC math tables.
