[FRIAM] square land math question

[Frank Wimberly]

In R2 a point is an ordered pair.  How can (1,1) be decomposed into other
points.

I am correct, goshdarnit.  When I was about 9 I said that word in the
presence of my Southern Baptist grandfather.  He said, "Say Goddamit.  It
means the same thing and it sounds better."
