Apparently, they didn't know it by heart. If they had, they wouldn't have had to spend all that time searching.

The point being that memorizing complex math is pointless unless you're using it for some sort of day to day.

Complex? It's just Sohcahtoa my friend

I thought this was early high-school level stuff.

Since becoming an adult it has become increasingly obvious to me that early high-school level stuff is impossibly complex for a significant chunk of the population.

It's unfortunate that you are correct. However, when it comes to memorization, trig seems pretty tame. That one mnemonic just about covers it all. Even multiplication tables seem like a larger memorization effort to me.
