While doing some math homework (and being throughly stuck) I discovered Wolfram Alpha saying I'm excited by this discovery would be a massive understatement. Calling it a search engine wouldn't do it justice so I'll give it the term that it describes itself as, that is an answer engine. Entering a query doesn't give a list of webpages but information on that query, here's an example when ran on [url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=armorgames.com] Armor Games. As exciting as it would be to get information on webpages it doesn't stop at that not even close, inputting any city will give you information on location, population, and up to minute information on weather. To top it all off it's one of the best ways I've found to solve any mathematical equation from determining X when 2+X=3 or graphing and finding the roots of polynomials.

So, in order to avoid this being called spam, have you found any other note worthy uses for it? Has it given you information that you needed or were interested in? Basic discussion and such.

Never heard of it. But after playing around for it a bit, I have discovered a new found hobby of wanting to discover a lot of random and useless information lol. Thanks for the link.(Not Sarcasm)
