I think we're getting into some number errors here folks.

10 sq mm broken back into wire diameter would be 10 / pi or 10 / 3.14.
If I'm thinking this through right in round figures that would give us
3.18 and the square root of that would be a wire with a diameter of 1.78
mm.

Actually, no, that would yield a *radius* of about 1.78 mm, or a
diameter of about 3.6 mm, or equivalent to about a #7 wire gauge.
Still *way* too small for a starter cable though.
