Raul, note that this works:
 
   (+.&.(*&1p1))/2 3

1



even though  the numbers 
 
   0j16":(*&1p1)2 3

6.2831853071795862 9.4247779607693793

do not satisfy your demands of being exactly represented.
Thanks!
Bo

 The answer 3j2 looks sane.
3j2 * 0j1 0j_1
and the only one in the first quadrant.
Nice!
