Circle in hypotenuse (Posted on 2003-11-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Prove that if you draw a right triangle and then draw a circle with its center on the hypotenuse's midpoint such that it intersects at least 1 vertex, it will in fact intersect all three.

Some Thoughts re(2): solution | Comment 5 of 13 |
(In reply to re: solution by Dan)

That is an excellent point Dan,

In fact I believe that we have neglected these variables in quite a few of our solutions. Perhaps a "flooble-wide neglected variable audit" is in order. I propose we go back into the archives and reconsider any more poorly tested solutions that we find. Should we find this problem to be as rampant as we might suspect, we could extend this audit to the vast expanse of the internet in its entirety. Who knows how many innocent problem solvers across the planet have been horribly disillusioned by overly-simplified solutions.

Now is the time Dan, we have the power to begin the revolution. Never underestimate the ability of a small group of concerned citizens to change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has!
