	I don't know what to think.  I've only gotten ONE correct answer on
the previously given problem

			 o
		x = sin 3   (three degrees); find x exactly.


	This could mean one of two things:

	A: I was ignored or overlooked.
	B: The problem was just too tough.


	For the sake of my pride, I'm going to assume that B is correct, and
give a hint as to how to solve the above problem.  It will be with another
problem, of course.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Isosceles triangle ABC has vertex angle A=36 degrees and AB=1.  Find BC
exactly (no decimals, please).

The answer to this problem should help in solving the original problem.
