gollark: What information do they give you?
gollark: Do you not understand a word/phrase in it, or what it's asking you to do, or what?
gollark: <@379441093558927391> Like I said, please just post your actual question so people can help you directly.
gollark: My computer agrees with that.
gollark: I worked it out as 360-(360/π) degrees, which seems weird since that would make it independent of radius. Maybe it is, who knows.
