	Approximating roots.		1996-11-04
		Ben Dixon pose la question : How do you calculate a square root? eg the square root of 2. There is obviously some sort of successive approximation type algorithm for doing it to however many decimal places is required, but what is the algorithm? Harley Weston lui répond.

	How many digits are there in 2^2520?		1996-10-07
		Rita Leung pose la question : A)The number 64 is a sq., a cube, and a sixth power because 64=8*8, 4*4*4, 2*2*2*2*2*2. Find the smallest integer greater than 1 that is a sq., a cube, a 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th power. I have found that the answer is 2 to the power 2520th. B) How many digits are in the correct answer to part A? The answer is uncertain. It is either 758 or 759. Can you give me any ideas? Penny Nom lui répond.

	Why is a circle divided into 360 degrees?		1996-09-30
		Kurtis Kredo pose la question : I was recently wondering why a circle has been divided in to 360 degrees. When I asked my physics teacher he could not think of an answer. His guess is that it probably has to do with people long ago using the base 6 number system. I have a small inkling that it has to do with easy conversion or usage with radians or grads. Chris Fisher lui répond.
