Use the same method on a 3-4-5 triangle to prove that ##3 + 4 = 5##.

You have to show both directions of the proof!

gets us ##\pi=2##. Hence ##\pi = \dfrac{4+2}{2}=3##.

A fact engineers knew all the time.

Q: Lightening strikes that rear of an 800 foot long train. How long until it reaches the front of the train and kills the driver.
A: Depends on how good a conductor he is.

Made me laugh. But the joke perhaps ought to be modified slightly since the conductor doesn't control the train, the engineer does.

And it is easily possible, as the conductor runs through the train.

Before Coronavirus:
Python:
def factorial(number):
    if(number==1):
        return 1
    else:
        return number*factorial(number-1)
After Coronavirus:
Python:
def factorial ( number ) :

    if ( number == 1 ) :

        return 1

    else :

        return number * factorial ( number - 1 )

Hilarious. You could rewrite post-Corona virus factorial() to use masked variables.

So that's how they write anti-virus programs!

Test numbers for infection before you allow them to multiply.
C++ would be better the better mask. It can catch exceptions.

And my 1st world gripe: ATM, not ATM machine.
Similarly, PIN, not PIN number. :oops: -- temporarily missed your earlier post and that of @George Jones on this . . .

P stands for plaisir, not please.
When translating 'please' at the beginning of a request sentence, I tend to use 'prière de (bien vouloir)', and 's'il vous plaît' when it's (less formally) placed at the end.
