Answer to the math question

[RAM]

Okay-Any of several reasons no one got the exact answer. Fifty four of you don't give a rat's fanny about getting free reel stuff; All are as math challenged as me; Inquiring minds don't want to be bothered with such trivia;
No one wants to think that hard on a holiday. In any event, here 'tis:

6.5 OR negative 6.5 Any square root has two answers, to be exact.

Point to be made:Almost nothing in life is what it seems on first consideration. Don't worry, no more trivia questions from Bad Bob (well, maybe one about reels).

Yeah, stay in a reel friendly atmosphere, where we normally aspirate.

My God Jack, as the oldest of the Geezer fraturnity you can't aspirate on us.

Maybe Jack was just angling for some mouth-to-mouth...

Holy cow... I have sunk to puns.

I fear it may be result of reel deficiency... no reel finds in some time now... cough! choke... gasp...
