Dear Airton:

the following is certainly an impossible task:

The rows af the matrix might be infinite because, for example, the number sqrt(2)/2 will be in some row, right? Then how would you write it from right to left? Written from left to right it's still an infinite sequence of digits and, hence, is not an integer.

Do you agree with this?
