Line 377:
The root chosen, 12.34, may be a poor choice. As p is initially 0, this pattern can create unnecessary confusion for people new to this algorithm, such as that the later values of x, 1, 2, 3, and 4 somehow are related to counting from that initial 0. Consider changing.
 
Also, if there are going to be these examples, it may be prudent to make them as clear as possible, explicitly noting the values of p, 20p, x, and y in each line of guessing/calculation. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/137.118.149.208|137.118.149.208]] ([[User talk:137.118.149.208#top|talk]]) 21:22, 24 May 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
