Morley Theorem
A user proposes a geometric construction for angle triplication and asks if it could serve as a proof of Morley's theorem. The discussion examines the validity and rigor of the proposed construction as a proof.

The article explains the alpha-max plus beta-min algorithm, a mental shortcut for estimating the Pythagorean sum c = √(a² + b²) without heavy computation. It approximates c as max(a, 0.9a + 0.5b), which is useful for combining variances, computing radii, and similar tasks.
