>A "you" can, and many individual "you"s presumably did that, to general satisfaction

I was chatting with the person that was in charge of marking the fields for the local youth soccer league. I volunteered to help one weekend, and one of the first things he asked was if I knew what a 3/4/5 triangle was since it was the only way to know you'll be squared. I never did figure out to what level he was dead panning his joke or if he was even meaning for it to be a joke. Either way, I laughed.



3/4/5 is considered a wood working trick - that many beginners would not know (according to youtube, at least)


I learned it in geometry in like 10th grade. No wood involved.
