That's what his original question was, and this video wasn't there.Repeated keypresses of the SQR finally results in 1.Each time the SQR is pressed the calculator does the square root , which is raising the number to the power of 1/2 or 0.5. If you press it three times effectively the original number is raised to the power of (0.5)^3 or 0.125Press it 10 times then the number will be raised to the power of (0.5)^10 =1/1024 which is  0.0009765625 Press it 25 times and the power will be  .0000000298023224With further repeats this power gets smaller and smaller and reaches 0 (at least the calulator's machine computational limit of 0)Any Number raised to the Power of 0 is 1 - and that's why the answer is 1.</blockquote>
