And the official winner is...Runer112 with 54 bytes :P

Xeda had the first hyper optimization and then calcdude84se optimized it again. Runer112 then did an optimization that, in turn, actually wasn't since they resulted in the exact same size (since the new line accounts for the taking off two parentheses). Nemo then optimized it again and then Runer112 optimized again by taking out that last line.

If you want a winner the the latest one I would go with me with:

Code: [Select]
"GI
Who really needs the "Just F******" part? ;)

As long as we are keeping the list output (as a pause) and the
Code: [Select]
:ClrHome
:Disp "AX²+BX+C=0

Then here is a smaller version (by 1 byte):

:ClrHome
:Disp "AX²+BX+C=0
:Prompt A,B,C
:√(B²+4i²AC
:Pause .5A-1(-B+{Ans,-Ans


(The code box didn't allow the -1)

It's smaller than who's by one byte?

Having i2 forces the calculator to evaluate the expression as complex numbers, so the square root function won't throw an error and you can find imaginary roots.

this changes the mode setting, and adds just as many bytes as i2 anyway.
