What is The Pythagoras trick?
The name is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, stating that every right triangle has side lengths satisfying the formula a2 + b2 = c2; thus, Pythagorean triples describe the three integer side lengths of a right triangle. However, right triangles with non-integer sides do not form Pythagorean triples.
What was weird about Pythagoras?

Are there any exceptions to the Pythagorean theorem?
A theorem about right triangles must be true for every right triangle; there can be no exceptions. Just showing that an idea works in several cases is not enough to make an idea into a theorem. The Pythagorean theorem has been proven to work for every possible right triangle.
What is wrong with the Pythagorean theorem?
Nobody can say that the theorem is absolutely true or false because the answer is always both, depending on context. The world of duality is a strange place, it’s based upon the notion that it’s impossible to be right outside of the moment.
