I just finished watching Mean Girls. Apologies in advance for the spoiler, but the climax of the movie asks the following question:
Beer to the first correct answer and solution. Don't just copy and paste from another site. Please put answers in spoiler tags.
The question for the poll is what is the answer?

Wait, what, you liked a movie with no tranny boys in it?Quote: PokerGrinderI know Axel will mock me on this but I’ve always loved this movie!
If the reason why you liked it was because of Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan I then wouldn't mock you.
Oh wait, I bet Jonathan Bennett had you all sprung.
Other movies I felt what kind of similar to Mean Girls was Heather's, Jawbreakers.

I would have watched "Mean Girls" if I had known this math question was in it.
I remember some of my high school and college calculus. The limit as n approaches 0 for the numerator is 0. The same applies to the denominator. When an expression is of the form 0/0, "L'Hopital's rule" can be applied.
With L'Hopital's rule, the answer is the ratio of the limit as n approaches 0 of the derivative of the numerator and the limit as n approaches 0 of the derivative of the denominator.
The derivative of the numerator is -1/(1-n) - cos(n), and its limit is -1/(1-0) - cos(0) = -1-1=-2.
The derivative of the denominator is -2cos(n)(-sin(n)) = 2cos(n)sin(n) = sin(2n), and its limit is sin(0) = 0.
The ratio of the -2 and 0 is infinite. So, the limit of the original expression does not exist.
Edit: Uh oh! I just remembered your 24-hour rule.

Taylor expansion (or L’Hospital rule, which is the same) gives
-2n / n sin(2n) = -2/sin(2n)
—lim—> -2/2n = -1/n
—> +/- infinity
-2n / n sin(2n) = -2/sin(2n)
—lim—> -2/2n = -1/n
—> +/- infinity

I forgot to mention that rule this time. Your answer and explanation are good.
To the best of my memory, kubikulann hasn't won a beer yet. If that is the case, I will award you the glory, but him the beer.

Don’t !
Not only would it be costly to send it, but I’d rather show you around and have you taste some of the better abbey beers or krieks that we have here, when (if) you ever come to Brussels.
Thanks anyway.

Thank you for the offer! I will take you up on it my next trip to Brussels. If you're ever in Vegas, the beer offer never expires.

You seriously couldn’t wait until October 3’rd (National Mean Girls day) to post this? I am disappointed.

I think my favorite line of the movie is, “What are marijuana tablets?”

I know the answer only because I’ve seen the movie a million times. Had I not seen it, I’d have no idea.
Heck, the answer has even become a popular meme.

I love attractive women who are good at math. Sadly, you don't come across many. The main character in Mean Girls (played by Lindsay Lohan) excelled in math.

In regards to the poll... It's not the size of the calculator, but the battery life that really counts.
