As dark coder already explained, it is due to Euler angles. Under this rotation method, you can get the same angle, with different x,y & z values, when taken as a whole. For example a rotation of (0,270,0) is the same as rotating at (180,-90,180).

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.
