1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to them. 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Christian o'connel show podcast. So yeah, office works yesterday was 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: chattingly a young guy who was totting up all the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: stuff I was buying. I said, it's chaos in here. 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: It's been busiest day of the last twelve months. Back 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: to school. I saw one dad who looked like he's 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: been tracked off his son lounger right, his kid having 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: it in bolt to come with him. She was on FaceTime. 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: You know when you see it's normally a guy is 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: like that is it this? 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: Turn it down? Hey, I got the camera buy the. 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: Wrong way at these box files? He was that one 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: that one like these? Is it these? So I had 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: to buy this two hundred dollars scientific calculator right, and 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: that thing will be lost. It won't make Friday. 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: I always felt sorry for my parents, honestly during that 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: man back to school rush is because I knew half 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the stuff we were getting. Yep, I was never going 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: to use I never used a protractor. 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: No, the said square the compass. 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: The compass is only good for stabbing friends. 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: Stabbing friends, What would they do with giving young boys 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: a sharp and blade? 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: Wait un till they get to ultimate boredom halfway through 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: a maths class, and then see what they do with 26 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: the pointy end. 27 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: I just pitched to Jack, think, you know what, you know, 28 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: there's so many kids that listen to school run. Why 29 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: don't we get some show merchandise pencil cases and sandy. 30 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: Jack isn't keen for this idea. He doesn't think to 31 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: think it's a desirable thing for kids, our show pencil case. 32 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Well, I don't imagine gold is the biggest, most illustrious. 33 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: The toast of the playground. 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: You would be the talk of the town. 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: But all right, so I'm trying to work out on 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: this calculator is exactly the same as the ones we 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: grew up with old Texas instruments. They stirred that same 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: mysterious thing for sign. What is sign? 39 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Sign? I know he's part of the sign cause. 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Soccer on the line right now, probably horrified to hear 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: us mangling mass we did five minutes go. It's a 42 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: math teacher. Amanda, Good morning, Amanda. 43 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: Good morning, Christian, how are you this morning? 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: You sound like a teacher, You sound like got that 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: authority respect? 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: Is Christian in trouble? 47 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: No? 48 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: No, no, not yet, not yet? 49 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: Sign? What do sign stand for on the calculator. 50 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: It's actually s in E, so that's why it's sign 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: rather than sin, and cols is actually co signed. But 52 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: tan's not abbreviated, so they're not going to try and 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: fit all the other letters onto them calculator. That's why 54 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: it's abbreviated. But that's why it's fine. And it's about 55 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: the relationship between two sides of a right angle triangle. 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: So thousands of years ago Kysagoris discovered that basically, if 57 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: you have a right angle triangle where you've got your 58 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: your corner. Effectively, if you were to take a piece 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 3: of string stay and take it off the top of 60 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: the building and you attach it to the ground, if 61 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: you know how long your string is, if you measure 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 3: the angle between the string and the ground, that will 63 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: actually tell you the relationship, and you'll be able to 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 3: find out exactly how high are. 65 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: Pythagoras's theorem. 66 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm so interested, Christian to know what you've written down there, 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: because I saw you writing while she's Talking's no resemblance to. 68 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: Take that back. I've actually written. 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: Just throwing a triangle and written right angle. 70 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm hapy to get top marks from teach today, Amanda. 71 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: And you spelled sign wrong. 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: You've written s I G in phonetically. Because I keep 73 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: saying shin, I keep saying what is sin? People are 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: going to go. I know he's a Christian, he's obsessed 75 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: with sin today? What's happening? And why must I sin? Sorry? 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: Not taking religions today. 77 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. We don't have to spend a 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: lot of time whine about right angles. When we at 79 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: school didn't we right angles? 80 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Right angles? Big businesses right angles. 81 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's what sign stands for. 82 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: That's what it stands for. And the other thing I 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: wanted to mention for you, I really hope you didn't 84 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: buy a scientific calculator yesterday. I hope it was a 85 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: Kaz calculator because the CAS calculators cost about two hundred 86 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: dollars and one of the reasons the kids love using 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: them is because if you know how to press the 88 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: right buttons, it does all of the mass for you. 89 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: That's the one I got. 90 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, good, because the scientific ones should cost you no 91 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 3: more than about twenty. 92 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, I got the cheatish one. I 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: got the two hundred dollar megathine. 94 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Do all thes for me. 95 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: She just picked it out. So needed this one, I 96 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: don't know. 97 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: That's why, because it does most of the mass for 98 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: you. You don't have to understand the thing. You just press 99 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: the buttons. 100 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: Double for that. Technology do the a right angle. 101 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: Technology's got it. They know how to calculate. 102 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: Right in the way of that, you know. Shut out technology, 103 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: Move out Pythagoras, that mander. This is the Christian O'Connell 104 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Show podcast
