My concern with too many law students and basic math
Kenneth Anderson, a law professor at Washington College of Law, American University, Washington DC, and a member of the Hoover Task Force on National Security and Law, blogs on topics related to international laws of war, international law, related human rights topics, international NGOs, and the theory of the just war. (Mostly inactive these days, everything here is first draft and subject to changing my mind.)

a-squared + b-squared = c-squared, where a and b are the sides of a right triangle and c the hypotenuse; see this "Puzzler" column

Boy, taking the GRE back in '88 must have kept me in practice somehow, though I had to think back a bit toward the Pythagorean Theorem: my last math class ended with college-freshman calculus back in fall 1980.
Oh, I get it now: the phrase "here it is" was the response of a student who thought he "got it" - I had taken it for the amplifying cue of the professor!
Dunce cap time, and not just for the clueless student depicted: I got the math in time, but not the joke...
