Is Sine or Cosine more Evil?

I need help resolving a dispute with my friend (because he's incorrect but refuses to be convinced), so I'm looking for input from this subreddit. Between sine and cosine, which is more Evil (based on whatever criteria you decide on)?

Thanks!

r/mathmemes 2024 subreddit contest RESULTS + discussion thread

Alright, the 2024 r/mathmemes subreddit math contest has concluded. Thanks to all 92 of you who participated, it was definitely a fun experience to write the problems as well as host/organize this contest.

To summarize, the average score was 5.25 out of 12, and there were 8 perfect scores. As for the problems, #1 was the easiest, with 66 correct submissions, while #7 and #12 tie for the hardest, both with 21 correct submissions. Honestly, the average score as well as the solve rates were definitely substantially higher than I expected overall.

If you're curious and want to view more detailed statistics (which includes a list of the top 15 participants), click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rgMOIQzCAX-0he-2StCK6u8GtOtacCW9/view?usp=sharing

The top 5 scorers (ties broken by submission time) were:

  1. u/MrQwerties - 12/12

  2. u/AKSRandom - 12/12

  3. u/vspf - 12/12

  4. u/Agreeable_Cause_5536 - 12/12

  5. u/Genius3435 - 12/12

The discord nitro prize for the winner is tentative but I think one of the other mods of the subreddit will arrange for that, since I myself am rather broke. Top 15 will all receive a special user subreddit flair too.

I have rough solution sketches in my head for the problems, but I myself haven't written out actual rigorous solutions for the problems yet, because I've been quite busy with college work as of recent. (Although a submitter who got 12/12 on the contest did compile their own solutions document for the problems, in which I'll ask for their permission before possibly sharing it here.) Hence, here, you can discuss the problems and solutions on the thread yourselves.
