Poor Pythagoras is having a mathematical meltdown! His famous theorem (a² + b² = c²) works perfectly for right triangles, but here's a chessboard with a 5×5×5 right triangle where the math falls apart! The red squares form a diagonal that should be 5√2 ≈ 7.07 squares long according to Pythagoras, but it's clearly just 5 squares! Someone needs to hold Pythagoras back before he throws his abacus at non-Euclidean geometry! The universe is broken and mathematics is crying in the corner!
