Same here. I even know there are 360 degrees in a circle.
Took me a while on my small phone to see there was a North, therefore the 0 was not trigonometric on the right. Then I realized that the north was not up. By the time dumb me finally understood all this, I wondered if the angle should be negative like -90 degrees when towards west, or +270??
Finally I tried to do 180+45, entered 235, was told I was again not a human, realized I was super dumb about my math, and now wondering if the 2 minutes were expired.
And just spent 5 minutes explaining all that rather than trying again. Captchas can be overkill.
