What’s the difference between a mosquito and a mountain climber?
One’s a vector and one’s a scalar.

A mathematician decides that his wife can no longer satisfy him so he decides to have an affair with his 18 year old office assistant. Before taking his assistant to the local hotel, he leaves a message at home for his wife. "Dearest wife. You are 65 years of age and I find that you can no longer satisfy my needs. I am going to the Hilton with my 18 year old office assistant. Please understand my actions."
When he arrives at the hotel, a letter from his wife is waiting for him at the front desk. It reads “Dear husband, as you know you are also 65 years of age and I must admit that I have been unsatisfied for quite some time. By the time you read this I will be at the Mariott with our 18 year old pool boy. And, being the mathematician that you are, you will realize that 18 goes into 65 more times then 65 goes into 18. Please don’t wait up.”

Yes, I snagged the one that looked the best. Steve, I believe the one you show is the original.
If you combine Allen’s root of all evil, with the first four digits of the decimal, it looks a lot like the answer to post 1283.

Thank's, stv, for your purely geometrical approach.
No need for sqrt(3) neither Pithagoras.
An entirely visual solution.

Here is a variant of puzzle at post #1268.
Same but with 16 80 instead of 24 100.
Then it is more of a challenge to find the area of the circle.
Enjoy.

For the area of the circle, you need Pi.
I think, you give the radius, I'll check, I have not made the calculation yet.

Let's wait more answers.
