Wait, you literally have a calculator pre-installed on your computer, yet you are trying to use a search engine to do math? Just because some search engines happens to handle some basic arithmetic functions doesn't mean all search engines necessarily support the same features.

This is why helpdesks get paid the big bucks.

Maybe they're used to Linux (maybe Mac) where you typically can just write it in the start menu thing and it uses the calc app to solve it. No need to separately open it.
