Study math for long enough and you will likely have cursed Pythagoras’s name, or said “praise be to Pythagoras” if you’re a bit of a fan of triangles.

But while Pythagoras was an important historical figure in the development of mathematics, he did not figure out the equation most associated with him (a2 + b2 = c2). In fact, there is an ancient Babylonian tablet (by the catchy name of IM 67118) which uses the Pythagorean theorem to solve the length of a diagonal inside a rectangle. The tablet, likely used for teaching, dates from 1770 BCE – centuries before Pythagoras was born in around 570 BCE.

    Is there a paid version of it? I’m only using free apps because I’m literally so poor dirt is offering to help me, and when there’s two versions of an app they usually make the free one pretty bad on purpose to get you to buy the full version.

      The only difference is that the paid one doesn’t have ads. I don’t know what’s going on, but my free version doesn’t have ads either.

        Last I checked, if you deny GDPR / ad personalization thingy under Settings -> Privacy, ads are not shown (There is a box, but it is blank with text “Sponsored content”).

        Certain views did not show ads as well.

        I’m using Voyager and have never seen a single ad. Out of curiosity do you have AdGuard on your device or something else that would catch ads before you see them?

          I use Small Cards layout and it looks like there’s a bug (it’s not a bug, it’s a feature) where it won’t show ads in this layout. It will in other layouts.

            Same, let’s not ever talk about this again so that it doesn’t get fixed

            That’s a bit of a bummer, I don’t use card view, I always use the most condensed option I can.
