New York Times Needs a Formula
If anyone can help the New York Times with this formula, please feel free to email them. :-)
This hilarious story from Powerline:
We’ve had a lot of fun at the expense of the New York Times’ Corrections section, pointing out how it exposes the lack of basic, high school-level knowledge of history, literature, arithmetic and science on the part of the paper’s reporters and editors. Today’s Corrections section takes on the mysteries of geometry:
The Keeping Score column in SportsSunday on Jan. 23, about a mathematical formula for projecting the winner of the Super Bowl, misstated the application of the Pythagorean theorem, which the formula resembles. The theorem determines the length of the third side of a right triangle when the length of the two other sides is known; it is not used to determine the sum of the angles in a right triangle.
The Times is still searching for the elusive “formula” that governs the sum of the angles of a triangle.
Wow.
Hint for NYT editors: It’s a form Kerry said he would sign.

i believe i can discern that at least part of their problem may be due to the
high pot in use
