Re^2: A natural occurrence

How is 2, 3 .. sqrt($p) different from 2 .. sqrt($p)?

Update: I guess that applies to .718281 as well. Not to mention any all-0 string. In benizi's golf below I think 2..sqrt would work just as well because he starts at position 2 (skipping the decimal point) and explicitly excludes any string starting with a 0.

In the particular case of 2.71828, its square root is less than 2, so `2 .. sqrt($p)` is no good for us.
