Pythagoras Switch

A japanese Kids show made popular by it's fansubbing by the acclaimed dattebayo. This show opens and ends with crazy complex "Pythagoras Switches" which usually involve marbles, dominos and tubes. At the end or each of these rube Goldberg inventions the name of the show is revealed followed by children singing "Pitagora Suicchi". Because it's a kids show it tries to teach basic speech skills making it a fun way for the average English speaking japanophile to get a beginners grasp of Japanese. The show has also gained some popularity over you-tube which is filled with people performing the so called "algorithm march" which is usually done by tmen in suits in the middle of the show. They often have accompanyment in the form of soccer teams, and ninjas.

pythagoras' theorum

See pythagoras.


Pythagors' theorum allows one to calculate the lenght of the "opposite" side (That is, opposite to the right angle) in a right-angled triangle By knowing only the lengths of the other two sides. It can also be mixed with the sine and cosine rules, trigonometry and such to calculate every angle and side length in pretty much any structure. Practical uses involve the measurement of buildings and such.

The method:


•Use the same unit of measurement for all sides.
•Sqaure the lengths of the two shorter sides
•Add the sqaures of the numbers toghether
•Find the sqaure root of that number
•Your answer is the length of the longest side.

|\
A| \C
|__\
. B


Side A is 5cm, side B is 4cm and side C is unknown.

A- 5x5= 25 square cm
B- 4x4= 16 square cm

25+16= 36

Square root of 36= 6.

Side C is 6cm.


Of course, this can also be worked backwards to find the length of the smaller sides, provided there are at least two sides given.

If you try to practically apply this with any lengths other than those given, you will end up with decimals. The above example is the only one that does not end in decimal places.

The rarest of names, coming from a long line of Russian Czars and royalty. The person with this last name is well-respected, very outgoing, successful, and very good in bed. He is known for his intense sexual passion and conquests. Anyone who comes in contact with a Pechacek should be thankful and thank his/her hand and buy them a drink.

That Pechacek is one crazy guy!
