Initially, the number $1$ and a non-integral number $x$ are written on a blackboard. In each step, we can choose two numbers on the blackboard, not necessarily different, and write their sum or their difference on the blackboard. We can also choose a non-zero number of the blackboard and write its reciprocal on the blackboard. Is it possible to write $x^2$ on the blackboard in a finite number of moves?
