Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

To be even more-precise, 8√82.
To be at least equally precise but only slightly more pedantic, √5248.
less pedantic
Fewer
This is exactly the conversation I was hoping to see in these comments

Listen buddy. Did you 192 my wife?
To be significantly less precise, "Math."
Right away, I can tell it's not going to be easy. No square number ends with 2, 3, 7 or 8.
Assuming the number is square, the first digit can be found through successive approximation, the last digit is then mapped to 0→0, 1→1/9, 4→2/8, 5→5, 6→4/6, 9→3/7. To differentiate between the low/high number in ambiguous cases, one can estimate the difference from the bottom/top of the decade, compare to ⌷5² (can be calculated with an easy trick) or check for division by 3.
not a square of integer
Yeah, that's what "square number" means.

This is completely off-topic, but scrolling by this post in my feed on my phone caused the angled black lines in the background to appear animated. Very bizarre. I'm not sure if it was an optical illusion or something funky is going on with my screen.
Same. iPhone SE 2nd generation. On what ever app has a blue mouse icon.
Well that's an interesting coincidence! I'm using the same iPhone on what I assume is the same app Voyager.
I can confidently say that the answer is "SYNTAX ERROR."
About 2,29.
"What precision?" - That's how you know it's going to get serious. Then after he receives the response, he just replies with "80085".
