Very nice.  It works good.  One thing though, and I won't have time to
look at it because I'm going on vacation is that when I tried to take the
square root of 3025 it gave me 54 as the answer when the answer is 55.  I
understand where this comes from in the rounding down, but this function
works when you don't have a perfect square.  The only exception I found
was any multiple of 4 (4, 16, etc.)
