BUG in the calculator!
I know this is really like.. erm.. something which most people won't bother about. But I have found a bug in the sharp calculator (not literally).
Use mode 2, 2 to solve the following equations using a SHARP calculator.
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0
x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0
If the answers for both equations are x=2 as given by your calculator, your calculator has the bug! Because x^2 -4x + 5 is CLEARLY not the square of (x-2).
This bug affects other perfect squares as well.
eg. x^2 - 6x + 9=0 AND x^2 - 6x + 10=0 both yield x = 3 as the answer.
To avoid falling for this flaw, try using cross factorisation first before you use mode 2, 2.
