    No, UnderpantsGnome is correct, it works with an Isosceles triangle also.

    "No".

    I find it's something I can reused time and time again and it stays just as clever.

    Does this mean my maths teacher... and the Simpsons... lied to me?

    Oh my God. What's real? Am I real? Are you real? Does Maths actually exist? In what form?

    Can't remember what it was but I'm sure I got loads of thanks for it. Possibly even post of the day.

    Not sure what the most clever thing I have ever said is, but using the word 'clever' incorrectly would not be one of them. :D

    well everybody, P.C won this thread.

    Can we narrow it down to specific time periods, like weekly or monthly?

    The fine people at Merriam-Webster's dictionary would disagree with you, good sir. 'Cleverest' is a perfectly legitimate word.

    Also, the cleverest thing I ever said (circa March 2009)

    "I think the FF government will be too bull-headed to consider the alternative option of nationalising the banks, and will instead pursue the bad-bank model so I'm expecting bank share prices to rise in the medium-term"

    Quids in a couple of months later :pac:

    If you mean this:

    Then, no. They agree with me.

    The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isocoleces triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.
    Stop and think about that for a second and it makes no sense! Say you have an isosceles triangle in a similar shape to the spire, then the square root of the base is clearly not equal to the sum of the 2 long sides...

    I think you'll find that the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat.

    after intercourse i found that the condom had broken

    after a few minutes of panic and crying into my pillow I rolled over and announced;

    "in for a penny, in for a pound"
    BOOM!

    I managed to get the countdown conundrum once in about a second. Took the guys on the show about 5 seconds. I was pretty impressed with that.

    Pfft. I got the target in a Maths round inside the 30 seconds that neither the contestants or Mrs. Vorderman could get.

    It's been all downhill from there :(

    When in rome


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    I used to work in a recruitment agency, and tons of non-nationals (especially Poles) would come to our door looking for temp work in construction and the like. They'd nearly always say "I look for job; can you open door?" because the nature of the work they were going for didn't demand a high level of education and vocab.
    Anyway, Dominika, a charming girl that worked with me, who was Polish herself, was explaining to me why they could so rarely manage to say 'open the door', and instead would just say 'open door.' She explained that the Polish language doesn't really differentiate between 'a' and 'the', so Poles inexperienced in English find this hard to learn, and often don't bother with either. She said that Polish people don't know is it 'a' or 'the' door. I replied "Okay, so in Poland you don't go though 'the' door, you just (cue singing) BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE!"

    I spent the next six weeks laughing at how perfectly that joke set itself up.

    I think you'll find you're both wrong.

    The square of the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides.

    Isosceles is wrong, square-root is wrong, and you have to ensure that the two sides you pick are those other than hypothenuse. (although you can do it to work out another side if you subtract from the hypothenuse).
