\$\begingroup\$ I've updated it to work for √139. However, if the length of the sequence gets much longer (√139 has a sequence of 18 numbers), then the result will probably start to lose accuracy. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Further interesting is now 3 of us have broken code for 139 (mine is still un-golfed and un-posted). \$\endgroup\$
