The piccie has nuts at unit lengths and the first line of the article after the very short intro is:

"The artwork references the idea of relating the lengths of the sides of a 3-4-5 right triangle ..."

How on earth did you get 2-3-4 for a right angled triangle! I blame booze, drugs, a late night or perhaps a standard issue: "off by one" (this is HN after all) ...



Whoops: "we see a 2-3-4 triangle" in the article


You can have a 2-3-4 right triangle if you can find the right axioms for it.
