The Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
which is really just a simplification of the cosine law, since cos90 = 0.

Heya Partners,
The time flew by pretty fast, eh? Suddenly, I look at my watch and see that its only 19 hours before the deadline for Fall 08! Zoinks!!
To answer a couple questions that I've been asked.
1. No, I unfortunately was not on top of things enough to sit down and send out the Summer 08 map.
2. I met with defeat in all my attempts to find a permanent replacement for the Knights.
3. Our temp Knights player, who submitted orders last turn, has graciously volunteered to send in orders again so that there is no delay. So I DO have orders for the Knights in-hand.
4. The colour blue. (Someone out there knows what this means.)
5. Pythagoreans formula is the simple method of calculating the length of one side of a right-angled triangle, if the two other side-lengths are known. However, if you were sleeping during high school math class when the taught this (like I was) then I'm not going to fill in the blanks.
6. FALL 08 ORDERS ARE DUE IN 19 HOURS!!!
Cheers everyone.
