Re: Isn't it the limit?

In a previous post I said:

It isn't the limit because the triangles when flattened out are no longer
tirangles!

Let me correct that. They are not triangles to begin with.

Could it be your students are confused because YOU are confused?

Sorry - couldn't resist!

Altus OK


No offense taken. That is always a tenable hypothesis. I mis-typed.
Should
have said the answer is too small. I've been having a lot of problems
with
my vision lately, and you have to expect that in my posts. Better check
the other equations also. If it weren't for a spell-checker (which I
sometimes forget to use) my posts would be a real mess. Too bad unix
doesn't have a logic checker. :-)

Nonetheless, the *real* problem/dilemma still remains. I know a reason
for it (which I haven't yet revealed), and am waiting for you folk to
provide further or different enlightment, which no one has done yet.
