I have wondered this as well.

I also wonder how sometimes when pointed to math fails, it proceeds to get the correct answer. Typically with simple division that results in many decimals with specific rounding instructions. It will get it very wrong, be prompted that it was wrong, then spit out the correct answer but often with the incorrect amount of decimals.

Specifically problems like 7438.474782382 / 43.577874722

Getting it right is the weird part for me.
