It's actually a^2+b^2=c^2. Missing the powers of 2 makes a big difference.

Nice scheme and good work BTW, @Undisciplined.

I feel like I went up for a block and just got dunked on ruthlessly. Thank you for your corrections!

I just felt like I got tossed an awesome alley-oop, but maybe it was from someone on the other team or maybe I dunked it on my own goal.
