	The cotangent ratio is wrong. Nice, easy quiz. Glad to see more math quizzes! :D

	@jordan: I think the mnemonic is SOHCAHTOA (Sin=Opp/Hyp; Cos= Adj/Hyp; Tan= Opp/Adj) Also, accepted abbreviations should be allowed for this quiz (sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot)

	lol, Socatoa was the biggest highschool math last resort after Pemdas.

	If my math major ass couldn't remember these... I might as well have given up thinking altogether.

	easy. thank you algebra II honors!

	i only knew the first three too Ozzy Had A Hit of Acid (OH AH OA) taught by a NUN no less!

	not trig, but I tried cosh and sinh as bonuses. Alas, no such luck.

	SOHCAHTOA indeed

	I suck at math and still got all six in nine seconds. I guess I was bound to retain something from trigonometry...

	The abbreviations shouldn't be accepted. If you only know the functions by the buttons on your scientific calculator, then you don't really know them.

	@heydigital: inverse sin, inverse cos and inverse tan are three completely different functions unrelated to sec, csc, and cot.

	jc88 is right the 'other three' are 1/sin etc. Literally just done this stuff in the past week at college, before then I'd only have got 3 :-)

	Bradley:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 19:25 GMT	3 points
	wow. I haven't even THOUGHT about this stuff in more than 13 yrs, but managed to get all 6 somehow :)

	@Mr Negative You finally got a comment with a bunch of negative points. You must be so happy.

	Onno:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	4 points
	I typed in sinus, cosinus and tangens. Had no idea that they had different names in English... =(

	@jc88 really? oh well, just shows how long it's been since Calc. :/ Sporcle always reminds me how little I know, haha. but that's why I love it.

	I almost forgot about secant and cosecant.

	I did much better on this than I did in actual trig class.

	Anyone remember 2ge+her? [Girl, algebra, trigonometry/ can never equal up to what you do to me/ so, let's integrate/ don't differentiate/ If you were in my class/ there's ain't no way I could pass/ I hate english, gym & not to mention/ I can't even afford to pay my attention/ not even philosophy can ever come between us/ but we will always have our calculus/ I know my calculus it says u + me = us/

	Oh, I'm not saying they're good. That's what popped into my head. Everything relates back to cheesy television with me. Also, for those wanting more groan worthy jokes, read on! [Trigonometry for farmers: swine and coswine...] and [Q What does trigonometry have in common with a beach? A: Tan Gents] ...yeaaaahhhh...sorry.
