    I have a calculator that is correct 80% of the time. But don't worry, every time I use it, I check the results myself.

      @MartinEscardo 80%? You must have a better one than mine. Mine's only right 50% of the time, but I'm a glass half full kind of person so the mistakes make me even more grateful for that 50% and that they replaced those less polite, 100% right ones with these new ingratiating buddies. Plus, mine has a subscription, which I'm proud to pay to support the development of more politely phrased mistakes in the future!

        @MartinEscardo Try, "You are a calculator that performs RPN"?

          I wished somebody else said this in this thread. So I say it myself.

          Of course, we use a calculator because we don't know the result in advance.

          A calculator is useless if once we get the result we have to check it.

            @MartinEscardo This is only true if checking the result is just as hard as computing it. For an NP-hard problem, a calculator that gives a correct witness for 80% of 'yes' instances could be an extremely useful tool.
