Square Root of 10

So tell me...
What is the square root of 10?

There was this one time when I was on a date and just out of the blue, I asked him that question. Guess what? He answered, "Eh di 5." And I go...huuuWHAT?!?!? Tapos, poker-faced pa siya, I swear! And he even provided other examples to 'prove' his answer right. Lalo lang umakyat yung dugo sa utak ko. Hay, I ended up explaining the concept of square root to him. What a memorable date that was.

Di naman ako Math geek, pero ewan ko ba, turn-off talaga sa kin ang guy na di man lang makasagot ng basic Math questions. Basic ang square root e. Kapamilya nyan ang long division. Grade 3 pa lang kami sa BUPES (Bicol University Pilot Elementary School), pinag-aralan na namin yan.

Well sabagay, kanya-kanya naman tayo ng nagustuhan na subject nung elementary. So malamang yung ka-date ko na yun, magaling sa English o kaya sa History. Sayang kung nag-change topic kami sa subject na forte nya at kung nagpasikat siya ng, say, highfaluting english words or political terminologies, e di sana nagka-second date pa kami hehehe. That could have cancelled out everything. Oh well.

And by the way, the square root of 10 is 3.16227766...(an answer of 3 point something would do na sana hehehe). Basta please lang, wag naman 5!
