View Full Version : X^2=12345678987654321; X=?
I saw this in one of those weird facts posts but I can't remember if the answer was 111,111 or 1,111,111. I guess I could try to figure it out but that's not happening. I the first one sounds right but I'm not sure. Anyone remember? I think it was DaJudge that posted it.

The answer is 111,111,111
111,111,111 * 111,111,111 = 12345678987654321
or the Square Root of 12345678987654321 = 111,111,111
ummm x = 111,111,111.
That's an easy one.

Oh whoops. I guess now that I think about it you would need more digits than my two choices. :D So who voted on the poll. :)

Neither is the correct answer. When taking the even square of a number, both - and + answers result. So there should be a choice for +/-;)
not fair!! can't have multiple choice with no correct answers!! :p
Heh heh... It was a trick question. Yeah, that's it! :)
