Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Rapaire,

In recognition of the fact that the incomprehensible woman who tried to teach me Algebra in high school died last week, I must bring a mathematical concept to your attention. It actually comes from the realm of geometry. (I enjoyed geometry, taught by a different teacher. Very little of the Algebra stuck with me, except the use of "x" and "y" to denote things you don't know. I continue to find that very useful.) I want to point out a theorem used to extrapolate information regarding intersections of groups of people. Since the definition of "theorem" that I'm using says "A theorem is a statement which has been proved to be true" then this one should be easy.

This theorem involves our hypotenuse Amos. a2 + b2 + c2 aside, this one looks at how one person, who is a dot along an infinite line, can also be the intersection of lines of other people who would potentially be attracted to the richness of the MOAB if they only knew about it but they don't. This, I should clarify, is accute people, not obtuse people.

I've no doubt way overshot my higher math skills, so I'll stop while I'm ahead.
