But the 50g and 35s are fine as well. Their results are also correct.
The error is in the argument manually calculated by the user. It is rounded to 12 digits, and so these calculators return the exact result for this rounded argument.
The 34s would show the same error, but it uses at least 16 digits of which only 12 are displayed.

In this particular case, the 73 degrees, say it was rounded to 9 digits instead?
