[Short Answer Cliff Notes]

8. Pick an Imperfect squared number [I chose 315]
and use this formula

- Find closest perfect square to your number [I looked up a list of ever perfect square which helped me a lot
- Find square root of the new, closest perfect square
- Divide your original number by square root of closest, new number
- Find the mean of the new, closest square root and the sum of the previously divided ^ bullet point
- Square root should be the mean of the previous bullet point

Hope that made sense, do your best, good luck
