Default Re: OT: Interesting math problem...

At my high school they taught us a way to calculate square roots. It wasn't a simple equation. More of a process that resembled long division. I can't remember it anymore though. It may have been a form of this rod thing Fyron linked to just by a different name. But it didn't look exactly like that as I recall.
