5/1.41 Patched Instant

Let (x = \sqrt2). Write (1.41 = x - \delta), where (\delta \approx 0.00421356). Then:

[ \frac5\sqrt2 = \frac5\sqrt22 \approx 3.5355339059327378 ] 5/1.41

Kael stared at the numbers. 5 divided by 1.41. It was approximately 3.54. It made no sense. Why would the threshold be a decimal? Why 1.41? Let (x = \sqrt2)
