    i'm_not_neo el valor máximo absoluto

    I read a brainteaser once which asked how do you calculate the sqaure root of a no. on a regular calci without using the root function?Obviously,I missed the next issue which posted the answers.
    Repeat,I don't know the solution.I just wanted to know if there was a procedure to do so.
