Although I’m not sure. For that to be the quadratic formula, b is 3(1 + n) inside the root, but it’s 3(1 - n) outside it.
That looks like finding the roots of a quadratic. But presumably you know the square root is an integer. I’m wondering whether, if that is the case, the quadratic can be rearranged into a generalised factorised form, where the roots are obvious?
It’s had limited testing, so use with caution, and please send feedback.

Is there a white paper on L-Log anywhere?
I realised my memory must be faulty. Chris would have been 7 when I got my Speccy! Even he was not writing prototype versions of Rigchaser in BASIC at that age!
I missed out on the ZX81 (although a friend had one) but Sinclair still got me started in computing with my Spectrum. My brother and I took our first steps into coding with Sinclair BASIC.
