  1. 🦈 Ah, yes, because nothing screams mathematical rigor like a lasagna-loving #cartoon #cat explaining the Pythagorean Theorem. 🙄 Please set your #useragent, respect our robot policy, and remember: when in doubt, always consult #Garfield for your Euclidean geometry needs. 🤖🍕

  2. 🎌🔢 Look! A math proof so quirky, it only holds up in Japan—because math knows about borders now! 🌏🧮 Meanwhile, New Scientist fumbles to fill your screen with #ads and pop-ups faster than you can say "Pythagorean Theorem." 📈🤦‍♂️

  3. #HighSchool #students who came up with 'impossible' proof of #PythagoreanTheorem discover 9 more solutions to the problem
    In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using #trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school.

    Old news with a current news twist:

    "Two high school students have proved the #Pythagoreantheorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using #trigonometry.

    Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both at St. Mary’s Academy in #NewOrleans, announced their achievement last month at an American Mathematical Society meeting."

    The twist:

    the #basketball legend #CharlesBarkley gave their school $1M for it

  5. Teens come up with #trigonometry proof for #PythagoreanTheorem, a problem that stumped #math world for centuries
    A #highschool teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.

  6. @stecks Lastly, (apologies for the overload!) here are some ideas/requests for other people who might be interested:

    - some classics: #PythagoreanTheorem , #MandelbrotSet , or #E8

    - emoji for when you're thinking hard (maybe the orb from the orb-ponderer meme?)

    - emoji for when something you thought was hard was actually easy!
