I dunno, maybe I'm missing something here, I've only had the calulator a
week or so, but why does:
3root(125) return 5 but
int(3root(125)) return 4?
(3root = cube root operator)

That seems like a fairly straight forward piece of math to me... iPart does
the same. I can do:
3root(125)->X 
and X will return 5, but:
int(x)
returns 4!

On the other hand, if I do:
5->X
int(X) will return 5 as it should.

Is my calculator losing its mind? Or is it just me? :)
