Yeah, I just did it with a piece of paper, it wasnt exact since I just used a ruler, but its pretty damn close. I've heard of a few other things like this that show how fucked up math can be.

The squares don't match up evenly or anywhere near it. >_> I'm surprised they didn't get more than one extra square out of it.
If that stuff really surprises you then you haven't done Calculus yet or really payed much attention. Calculus shows you this exact thing in it with much of the math you do, it's a good example of showing maximum yield (or whatever it was called, I seriously need to brush up on my Calculus again been years since I used it).
Anyway the new MS Word box is funny as hell, I was laughing so hard I nearly passed out from lack of air >.>

I havn't taken Calculus yet, math is the bane of my existence, but I'll be taking it next semester most likely. I guess it wont be so bad if I can make the bane of my existence look like a fool.

Math lesson for the day
Lets take a simple equation: y = 3x + 1
To take a derivative
1.Write down equation
2. Take the power of x and multiply it by the coefficient, then reduce the power of x by 1.
3. After taking the derivative of a number, it will turn into zero.
dy/dx = derivative of y with respect to x
This will give you dy/dx = 3
The derivative mainly tells you the slope of the equation. Since y = 3x + 1, the slope will always be 3.
Now something more difficult:
Take something like y = 3(x squared) + 2x + 1
derivative will end up being dy/dx = 6x + 2
If you want to find the slope for x = 5, just plug 5 into x to see the slope at that point.
