Here's a fairly simple puzzler...

What is the square root of bread?

Keep in mind that this is not a joke, and that the answer does in fact have a numerical value that can be calculated if you think about it long enough.

Edit: If no one can figure it out, I shall post a hint to get you started...

Well, the first possibility is that the letters stand for numbers. No, that doesn't work because r would have two digits. Well, let's do it anyway.

Bread = 218514 or 2*18*5*1*4

Since it is apparent that V(bread) = (2+18+5+1+4) = 30

the square root of 30 = approx 5.48

Unless this is some fishy kernal of wheat wordplay type thingie.

You're getting extremely close, but you're solving it wrong...
