I don't know whether any substantial optimizations are still possible, though I'm continuing to think about it as it would be nice to get the run time down for the higher bases. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 15:42, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
:Argh. Made faulty assumptions about how square root of big integers are handled in Perl 6. It was only in the display code, not the calculations, so I got the right ''square'' but then displayed an incorrect square root. Will fix that. Thanks.
:This turned out to be a more interesting task than I initially anticipated. I learned quite a bit more about number theory than I knew before. We have an interesting cross-section of talented people on here. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 16:41, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
