I have two questions. The first is really minor but I'm sure
most people would want an answer: How do I speed up Tetris
for the 48sx. Right now, the game is so slow that I can
take notes and play a game very comfortably. Not that I don't
like this but I really would like a more challenging game.

The second is wrt the cosine function. I was doing some 
geometry problem and needed to evaluate cos(pi/3) (I know, I 
know, I should know it but I thought I might as well fire up
my 48 just for fun). My 48sx returned 0.4999..., not 0.5. 
sin(pi/6) does return 0.5 though. Why is this?
