Article Deletion
Perhaps my deletion of this article was hasty, but it didn't seem well-written and I thought it contained deliberately inserted errors.
I'll give it another week or two, if Sam or anyone wants to fix it up.
Note: I'd like this article to be readily understood, even by readers who did not get good marks in plane geometry or who managed to skip it somehow. --Ed Poor Talk 14:04, 13 November 2010 (EST)
