Some Thoughts I can't belive that no one figured it out yet!!! It is so easy!!! | Comment 14 of 20 |

First we need an irrational number. Right? I'll use the square root of 10. That's like 3.162277660168... and so on. But how can you make it a rational number. DU!! Raise it to the exact same thing! The square root of 10. This will be...ta da!... TEN!!! Get any irrational square root and raise it to the same thing. There you go.
