Thanks Chris,

This calculator continues to amaze me. :)

I would like to point out though that very few calcs can do this.

but other bases are easy to do anyway - just use the change of base rule.   

$$\boxed{log_ba=\dfrac{log_{10}a}{log_{10}b}}$$

Just type in  ... log(b,a) .....   where "b" is the number you are taking the log of and "a" is the base you are using.....

In an example, for clarity the choice of letters would have used b for the base!!

Cool! But this did not fully answer the question.

 

This calculator also adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides.

Your skill set will have to be evaluated to know if you can do any of these.

 

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am not holding my breath.

Now we have a and b and b and a  everywhere - HOW CONFUSING

And not a Llama and Duck stew in site!   I think I am getting hungry :)

Care for some afternoon - or morning tea?

Sounds good!

 

This calculator might be able to cook stew, if you know which buttons to push.

 

What does Roo taste like? Let me guess, “chicken?” LOL-ROF

No it doesn't - but crocodile tastes like chicken

Roo meat is quite strong - I don't like it much.
