The handwriting really goes out of the window with a query like > what is the derivative of e^-x? It does a good job, but man is it hard to read
it's still better than my handwriting :)

#43I asked it to "provide a summary of Beetlejuice using purely numbers and addition" (nonsense) and it provided an answer that led to infinity. Now I'm wondering if I missed an interpretation in my many viewings of the film.

It just makes everything more realistic :D

I asked “what is the circumference of a square?” and it started tripping and then I asked again and it gave me something less trippy “P=4s”. In between it answer correctly for the circumference of a circle.

./solve "How tall is a giraffe in ants"
Solution: I'm sorry, but this isn't a typical math problem. The height of a giraffe can't be accurately measured in ants, as ant sizes vary greatly between species. Instead, I can provide you with some interesting facts:
1. An average adult giraffe is about 16-18 feet (4.8-5.5 meters) tall.
2. The average size of an ant ranges from 0.08 to 1 inch (2-25 mm).
3. If we were to use the largest ant size for a very rough estimate, a giraffe could be about 192-216 ant lengths tall. However, this is not a standard or accurate measurement.

Here is the raw answer from the endpoint
./solve "what is the circumference of a square?"
Solution: I'm sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding in the question. Squares don't have a circumference; they have a perimeter. Circumference is a term used for circular shapes. Let me explain the difference:
1. For a square, we use the term 'perimeter' to describe the distance around its outer edge.
2. The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides.
\text{Perimeter of a square} = 4s
3. Where 's' is the length of one side of the square.
4. Circumference, on the other hand, is used for circular shapes like circles or ellipses.
5. The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula:
\text{Circumference of a circle} = 2\pi r
Where 'r' is the radius of the circle.
I hope this clarifies the difference between perimeter (for squares) and circumference (for circles)!
