CHAPTER 39 - non yadda yadda yadda version

   This is the chapter that should not be. If you know the subject you know the reason. I can now let the cat out of the bag. I'm one of those dummies who has been trying to trisect an angle for over forty years. I neglected to mention the details of that little fact of reality through the thirty eight chapters so far because I didn't want any of you bailing before your time.

   With a certainty, If I’d said something earlier, most of you into mathematics would have concluded on the spot that this guy has at least a couple of blue birds of happiness circling the dome. Before you go ahead and do so now, there is something you need to know. Today's big oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

   What on earth do I mean by that. Simple, there is nothing wrong with the mathematics of the impossibility theorems, just a major problem with some of it's preconceived notions going in. At any rate, I stuck my ground and that's how I discovered maybe a little fly in the ointment.

   I've decided now is as good a time as any to blow my cover since this little bit of newsy tucks nicely away into this CliffR website as the switch and bait of the century. Plus, I also came to the idea of using it to help promote www.look.com by rub effect while it still needed some help.

   Quite the inviting little panache all this. In short, this section is quite the nice little garner of gains. It might also reveal the mathematical blunder of the century. Tell your friends.

   The 'Terrific Trisection Tribulations' actually began during my second year of honors math at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in 1962. Right after the Prof had shown an impossibility proof in class, and I had sat down that night and whomped up an ‘oh yeah’ attempt back at him.  

   It continues in full version as Chapter 39 in the ebook with yadda yadda yadda.

   The yadda yadda yadda part finally concludes with the comment: The question of whether an angle can be trisected or not has therefore still not been conclusively answered. As the immortal bard would say, ‘Pi R squared?'. Nooo! Pie R round, cornbread R square!

   I know there are a million guys out there with bucked teeth and wide suspenders who have preceded me. But trust me, I don't have buck teeth and I don't have wide suspenders.

Thanks,

Cliff (never say never to start with) Livingstone.
