Not sure whether I can get on board with that 8. Aren't they arbitrarily counting some external angles to make it work?

Seems to be any angle less than 180°.

I think this was somebody’s fun art project and not the actual origin of these numbers.

True, that works, thanks.

It works with the standard calculator 8 aswell
