I don't see that Thales has proven Randall's theorem. Do not to be confused with {{w|Thales's theorem}}, that's about right angles. Maybe I'm blind or just dumb, but if so it has to be explained with more traceable background. I just believe that this diagonal is so trivial that even the ancient Greeks weren't engaged on a proof. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:38, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Now we wait for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munroes_theorem. 172.69.54.165 15:51, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Can't wait to see how long it takes to remove the article. Linker (talk) 17:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Proposed ideas for Munroe's Law:
- Any seemingly simple idea will be difficult to prove; the simpler it seems, the harder the proof.
- Any proof which is discovered by a layperson will have been previously discovered by an expert (or an "expert") in the field.
