   I wonder what yesterday’s arithmetic problem was? “What is the fourth root of 256?” I don’t think so.

   It’s a trick question! They’re not actually squares - they’re 1”x7/8”

   Or…maybe this was supposed to be a polictical cartoon about the two presidential candidates?

   The question is not the difference between the squares. It is why the squares have to be different in the first place? Why can’t they be equal? Can’t we all be brothers?

   Good point Nozzi.
   In fact if we have r=Republicans and d=Democrats, we could express this challenges of the difference of two squares as r^2-d^2 (not to be confused with R2D2 who was a factor against Imperialism).
   This factors into (r+d)*(r-d). So what we have is the sum of all things political (r+d) multiplied or compounded by the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats (r-d), which I think pretty much describes the current political environment…

   Do not try to tell the difference between the two squares. That’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.

   There are no squares.
