Um, actually… I think the square root operation takes precedence over the division.

Eh, bad math aside they’re left with √=√ which is true.

And true = 1 hence √ = 1, I’m glad we figured this out!!

It’s not an operation. OP is working with a field where {√, 2} is a subset of that field’s elements.
