You're basically there, but "the closer you look, the less you see".
Look again.

In case you're still stuck here: Rolytic asked how to get the required number of letters from three. Isn't that obvious how to do that?

I have been away for a while.  Wasn't sure if it was half of the instruction or rearrange what you said

You've got to take half of what you initially found. That will point you somewhere. You'll have to rearrange that. It'll have the required number of letters.

Re: The root of the problem

First find the value of the ?

▼Spoiler

So that is the problem, now take the root of the problem

▼Spoiler

This leads to instruction 6, rearrange half

▼Spoiler

This means to rearrange the instruction at 3 (half of six and rather silly logic imho) 

▼Spoiler

Hopefully you will get a thirteen letter word ( relates to butterflies )
