 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I have trisected the angle, duplicated the cube, and squared the circle. House Bill 246 will use my discovery and set pi = 4! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| These problems had been long since given up by scientific bodies as insolvable mysteries and above man’s ability to comprehend. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Even better, I will allow Indiana to copyright this value and charge other states a royalty to use it in their math books. It's free money! | |
 | |  |

|
|
|
 | |  |
| Furthermore, I propose legislation that will make up down, black white and me the emperor of Taffy Land. | |
