Very useful and well presented review of the rules of arithmetic in this area! Thanks for posting this.

I wanted to share with fellow viewers an interesting story involving the square root of 2. It is said that the person who proved that the square root of 2 is an irrational number ended up getting thrown off a boat (the Pythagoreans believed that all numbers should be rational). So, the main lesson from this story is: NEVER do math while you're on a boat filled with irrational people.

nice, but Hippasos of Metapont, who is considered the discoverer of irrational numbers, was a Pythagorean ; )

@@wernerschwarze910 that is true! Hippasus's discovery was considered a serious heresy by fellow Pythagoreans since it contradicted their accepted view that everything in the world/universe is based entirely on whole numbers and their ratios. This is what happens when a group of scholars refuses to eat beans, but that is a story for another time!

Susanne's explanation is correct and clear. But in a real quiz you don't have much time. Do the math in your head just by looking at the question. As to #4: 8=2^3, so the square root of 8 is 2*√2. √2*√2 is 2. It's 3*5*2*2=60 BTW Remembering integer powers of single-digit prime numbers can be very useful; 2,4,8,16,32... 3,9,27,81... 5,25,125,625... 7,49,343...etc

2Sqrt[7]+3Sqrt[7]=5Sqrt[7] Sqrt[5]+2Sqrt[3]+8Sqrt[5]-7Sqrt[3]=9Sqrt[5]-5Sqrt[3] Sqrt[2]*Sqrt[18]=6 3Sqrt[2]*5Sqrt[8]=60 It’s in my head.

Thanks for the puzzle. I tried to solve this with python3's sympy library and algebraic numbers writing x**2 - a for sqrt(a) and reducing all problems to a set of these. For two numbers like x**2 - a and y**2 - b I used two of them. Then I used remainder = sp.div(numerator,denominator)[1] so that (sqrt(2)-3)**4 is sp.div((x-3)**4,x**2-2)[1] mod-ing by the algebraic number polynomials. This worked for most problems you presented. A few had more than one number which I tried to do: sp.div(sp.div(sp.div(expression,p1)[1],p2)[1],p1) which worked on the one that calculated to 6 or 60 or whatever. The fractions did not involve polynomial division, sp.div, but merely fractions in terms of x,y. I only needed two variables x,y. But of course this is more complicated that what you presented but it was an alternate way to calculate using sympy. Its hard to calculate ZZ[x,y]/I for ideal I=(p1,p2).

Another way for #6: For the top, factor out a 4 giving 30√3. For the bottom, factor out a 9 giving 18√3. The √3 cancel giving 30/18 = 1 and 2/3. I was always taught to reduce fractions.
