See, the answer is always 41 though isn't it, and never 1. Like you say, a scientific calc gives 41, whereas a normal calc (like the one in start > programs > accessories) gives 1, even though that is obviously (I now know) wrong.
Waiting until my maths teacher mate gets home so I can give him shit about the state of our education :D
