Yeah, first thing I did was look it up to, uh, refresh my memory.
One of the hazards of teaching Algebra -- all that stuff that you start forgetting.

I don't consider myself quite the same level as you when it comes to mathematics, so I definitely had to run to Google. I did find this interesting piece on the teenager who solved the problem. I wasn't sure if no one had been able to solve it before the teen had or not. The article cleared it up.
I'm still wrapping my head around the benoulli equation though. >.<
Volume 1 has three short stories of my collected Lore. Paranormal angel romance, followed by snarling devil dogs.
Volume 2 has four short vampire tales.
Volume 3 has humorous fantasy.

In A Flash by Christopher J. Burke
Bite-sized stories for transit rides
Available in paperback and ebook at Amazon.
Mr. Burke is a high school math teacher in New York as well as a part-time writer, and a fan of science-fiction/fantasy books and films.
He started making his own math webcomic totally by accident as a way of amusing his students and trying to make them think just a little bit more.
Unless otherwise stated, all math cartoons and other images on this webpage are the creation and property of Mr. Chris Burke and cannot be reused without permission.
Thank you.

I thought something was odd when none of the reference sites even mentioned the teenager even though some of these sites had been updated recently.
I'm not going to wrap my head around it -- they seem to be useful for even higher mathematics that unfortunately has escaped me.
