Next step... cubing the sphere!
But i thought...
square squared = cube / rectangular prism
circle squared = cylinder?
seems the natural progression...
no, squaring a 2-dimensional object (circle) would create the 4th dimensional analog (hypersphere)
So now we just have to construct a hypersphere with compass and straightedge.
^.^
Either I've never heard of the thing you're pointing this esoteric joke at, or that's not funny.
Probably the former. Huh.
Heh, that's probably only the third one I have gotten by myself. I still love the challenge and the way these are presented. Very nice job with the site and keep up the good work!
and for the confused, circle the square.
