Euclid’s The Elements: Preposition One-Really Fun Math Puzzle

This is the nth edition of *drum rolls* Pop Quizz! A quizz in which the answers are not obvious and if it is obvious, and you get it wrong, you are rebuked at!!!

Occasionally, I will occasionally ask a question, and the reader will answer them! For every wrong answer, I will consider one of your comments a spam. Ha! See how you like that suckers! (I am kidding, of course) Sometimes, a wrong answer won’t invite rage, some really obvious one will, and you will be called an idiot if you can’t answer the obvious one. In fact, I may have to make an extra page on my blog for the lists of idiots.

Anyways, once upon a short time ago, I was reading Euclid’s The Elements, which is basically the geometry book to rule them all. First, it defines various terms, and go over postulates. Then it goes through geometric proofs, each different one called prepostitions. Well, the first one I think is a really neat geometry problem. It goes like this:

3. On a given straight line to construct an equilateral triangle.

Meaning, considering you have a line AB, make a triangle ABC with all sides equal. Sounds hard? Well, if you hear the clue, you migh go “OOOOHHHhhhhh!” If not, well… shame on you, mate. ^_^

Neat Videogame Stuffs

Firstly, there is the x-ray pictures  (hat tip Joystiq) of various game devices, which reveals the really cool innards of the devices. For example:

That one is of a wii mote, as indicated in the pic. (Why, why did they have to steal my Wii!! *sob* all my achievements…)

Secondly, look at all of these collections! The collections are from a game developer named Ken Levine. He is the developer of a really good shooter named Bioshock.

Finally, there is a cake of a goomba (hat tip gonintendo), which is a common enemy in the Mario Bros. games, which looks really neat.
