    This is a formula that helps you solve diamond problems:
    x=[-a±√(a-4m)]/-2, where a is the addition number and m is the multiplication number.
    Any comments?
    And where do I publish this?

    I didn’t know what you mean by “diamond problems”, so I had to Google.

    x is one of the roots of the equation x<sup>2</sup>−ax+m = 0; so you missed a square in the square-rooted expression (it’s √(a<sup>2</sup>−4m)).
