Nth root Nth root In mathematics, an "n"th root of a number "x", where "n" is usually assumed to be a positive integer, is a number "r" which, when raised to the power "n" yields "x": where "n" is the "degree" of the root. A root of degree 2 is called a "square root" and a root of degree 3, a "cube root". Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in "fourth root", "twentieth root", etc. For example: Any non-zero number, considered as complex number, has "n" different "complex roots of degree "n"" ("n"th roots), including those with
Dino Cube Dino Cube The Dino Cube is a cubic twisty puzzle in the style of the Rubik's Cube. It was invented in 1985 by Robert Webb, however it was not mass-produced until ten years later. It has a total of 12 external movable pieces to rearrange, compared to 20 movable pieces on the Rubik's Cube. Robert Webb designed and made the first prototype of what would become the Dino Cube in 1985; his original prototype was made entirely out of paper. Since then the puzzle was reinvented twice, but full mass production of the puzzle did not start until 1995. The
