dsrtao"area under x^2 from 0 to 1"
Yup. Got that one right.
"time value of $300 in 12 years at 2%"
Almost right -- I got the present value to end up with $300 in 12 years, which is $236. Certainly enough to get it right on the second try.
"population of Pakistan in 1980"
Yup.
"population of Pakistan in 1950"
no data available, but it shows the population curve back to 1970 or so.
"Steve Jobs birthday"
a plausible date.
"Steve Jobs social security number"
Wolfram Alpha isn't sure what to do...
