It took me a while to understand the 6, and I think it could have been put better.

Math error on 7. Not sqrt(4)*9. Looks like a drawo (illustrated typo) since sqrt(144) is represented correctly.

I assumed that was intended to be sqrt(49).

It looks like the top line of the sqrt sign doesn't quite cover the 9 of 49 (compare it to the sqrt of 144 where the top line clearly extends over all the digits of 144). Can't say I'd noticed it myself, but, to be fair, there is a discernable difference between the two.
In context though, it's pretty obvious what it says.

I have my problems to understand 3 and 9.
0,03 * 10 and 54 * sqrt(486) don't seem to give the right results. How are they properly written?

The 9 isn't a square root, but a long division: 486 ÷ 54 = 9
But unless there's another 0, it does seem that the 3 only comes to 0.3.

Ah, thanks. Could have figured out the 9 myself.

Is the infinitely long middle e? (Because it has an infinitely long expansion in any base, being transcendental.)
