Or they could go really old-school and provide a look up table...
sin(x) = y
for a variety of values of x.
Or, even nicer -- instead of having a correct numerical answer, they could write the answers as formulas. Then you wouldn't need to know the actual values at all. (Then again, this could also be a pain).
But some combination of the two should be possible without needing manual computation.
