@mokrates @DailyEpsilon how about 64², and (-64)² for instance. And other negative numbers with even power?

@PercyButtons3 @DailyEpsilon

Ah, damn. I criminally overlooked 64^2.

And ok, yeah, I thought of the negative numbers with even power, but I kind of decided to leave them. But fair, I can claim anything now ;)
