This is my Python program to find all the possible ways to make a rectangle out of a number, even using negative numbers. And the simplest example of factoring 104 into 8 x 13 or (10-2)*(10+3). In general, for any size square, x*x + x - 6 = (x-2)*(x+3)

And by “trial and error” I mean “analysis.” 😄

Generalized the pattern to draw any number of squares. It gets less interesting after 20 or so.

I've been a Processing guy and made the leap to py5 thanks to @gereleth.bsky.social's visualizations of her Advent of Code solutions. Was always inspired by the @beesandbombs.bsky.social types of generative art geniuses. It requires all the logic and trial-and-error of a great Geometry exploration.

Don't know about nowadays, but way back in the 1900s my dad (a Bruins fan) used to joke "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out." His philosophy was "If the puck ain't moving, it ain't hockey." 🏒

Congrats on the promotion! The tiny screenshot of your profile had me mistaking you for an avid quitter. 😀

Looking good, you handsome devil!

It's not even a matter of being smart enough, it's just being old enough to remember 2018 when his tariffs and/or the retaliatory tariffs from other countries backfired so badly we had to bail out the farmers and the steel industry.
