For example:
https://beta.duckduckgo.com/?q=3+%2B+square+root+of+5&ia=answer

And https://duckduckgo.com/?q=square+root+of+5+squared+%2B+3&t=ffab&ia=answer

It seems to me that this Goodie should just be merged into the calculator, adding support for Xth roots would be trivial and this is currently blocking a rather large set of queries involving roots.
@duckduckgo/community-leaders Any thoughts?

thanks Ben, I think that's a good plan
@GuiltyDolphin That sounds fine.
For now can we should improve the triggering.
@duckduckgo/duckduckhack-contributors anyone interested in investigating and simplifying the triggering of this IA and fixing it to avoid the types if queries it can't handle?
@moollaza I notice this doesn't have a maintainer - would you mind setting me as maintainer so we don't _upset_ anyone later on when we merge it?
@GuiltyDolphin I took care of that for you. You're now the maintainer 馃憤
A user pointed out today that this IA triggers for the query square root of minus garfield which is a comic. There is definitely a big bug in the logic here.
@GuiltyDolphin would you be interested in fixing this?
