Pretty close, but it would have been a really good find if they were exact for 10 digits or so.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: √51
But if we were in base-100, then only 5 digits would be a great find!!
