Happy to help

@Demosthenes other way around, but your instinct is right at least that the poles of the earth and the poles of a magnet disagree.. its just its the earth that is backwards not the magnet.

@Demosthenes well you would be correct that maps ultimately led to how we defined magnetic poles... answer me this ifi stick a magnet in some water and make it float and basically create a compass the north pole of the magnet points where? And yea feel free to use the logic that anctient scientists would have defined the poles of a magnet based off the idea of north on a map already.

@kabeallu Pretty much :)

@Kovaelin Thats not just limited to teachers :)

@Kovaelin probably because students are poor? Also because teachers dont want you to use a calculator that is too smart or capable.

@Kovaelin I never used anything except for their graphic calculators both new and old.. the new ones arent too bad, but for all their fancy featrures they arent useful enough and the old ones are fine

@Kovaelin can give you give an example of a specific model you find particularly low quality? I have a few and the older ones are built like a horse, but the newer ones not so much.

Check out this cool annotated diagram of QOTO's user growth that shows the various decisions made and events which have effected the various spikes in our user graph.

@khird did an excellent job on this.

@khird

Excellent graphic and very accurate. Also very cool.

@users

@Kovaelin which model.. old school or the new fancy CAS ones?

@rvlobato We are talking exclusively within the scope of human history, in which case each pole has been consistently on one side of the planet or the other, with some degree of drift but one of the poles has always been within the borders of antarctica within the last several hundred years at least.

@xorman perhaps, but there is still only one correct answer. And while the specific definition is somewhat arbitrary it is absolute in the way it is defined.

@hector well if a magnetic reversal did occur I wonder if we would rename the poles of either magnets or the earth :)

As you all know the earth is a giant magnet. As a giant magnet antarctica would be the north or south pole of that magnet?
