If $x$ is very very very small $\sin x \approx x$. An operator $S_n$ is defined such that $ S_n(x)= \sin \sin \sin \cdots \sin x$ (a total of $n$ $\sin$ operators are included here). For sufficiently large $n$, $S_n(x) \approx S_{n-1}(x)$.

In that case, express $\cos (S_n(x))$ as the nearest rational value.
