Abuse of floating-point math can make the widget approve non-constructible polygons (polygons with edge count 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, ..., which cannot be precisely constructed using straightedge and compass):
- pseudo-2-gon in 11 moves
- pseudo-11-gon in 44 moves by @Eddy119
