The square root of 9 is actually 243 but normal notation removes the two first digits to simplify calculation.

As a child I once went downstairs late on Christmas Eve and saw Santa Claus skulking around downstairs: proving his existence. And if that wasn't enough to unequivocally prove it(which it should be) He also took a bite out of the cookie I left him and a sip of the brandy and Rudolph took a bite of carrot. How you use this knowledge is now up to you.

According to Olympic rules, it is perfectly legal to knock someone down from their pedestal during the award ceremony, take their medal and claim it for your own in combat, then take their pedestal upon victory.

This is why playing national anthems during the ceremony was introduced, to fill the medalists with enough emotion and respect to make them forget about that rule in the moment, and preserve dignity.

quote:

On 30 June 1503, Christopher Columbus beached his two last caravels and was stranded in Jamaica. The indigenous people of the island welcomed Columbus and his crew and fed them, but Columbus' sailors cheated and stole from the natives. After six months, the natives halted the food supply. Columbus had on board an almanac authored by Abraham Zacuto of astronomical tables covering the years 1475–1506. Upon consulting the book, he noticed the date and the time of an upcoming lunar eclipse. He was able to use this information to his advantage. He requested a meeting for that day with the Cacique, the leader, and told him that his god was angry with the local people's treatment of Columbus and his men. Columbus said his god would provide a clear sign of his displeasure by making the rising full Moon appear "inflamed with wrath".

The lunar eclipse and the red Moon appeared on schedule, and the indigenous people were impressed and frightened. The son of Columbus, Ferdinand, wrote that the people:

“with great howling and lamentation they came running from every direction to the ships, laden with provisions, praying the Admiral to intercede by all means with God on their behalf; that he might not visit his wrath upon them ...”

Columbus went into his cabin to "pray" and timed the eclipse with his hourglass, and shortly before the totality ended after 48 minutes, he told the frightened indigenous people that they were going to be forgiven. When the Moon started to reappear from the shadow of the Earth, he told them that his god had pardoned them."
