   Especially if it does not exist such as, for example,   
   the last digit of the square root of two.   
      
   Geometrically, drawing a diagonal of a square   
   with a side equal to one, the square root of two   
   is easy enough visible but to calculate it numerically   
   brings a funny feature on the table placed.
