RE: [spoon-discuss] No, I haven't really forgotten...


From: "Craig" <ragnarok@xxxxxxxxx>
Now you add it all up: K+L+M+N+O. Then you take the square root of all that. And that's the distance in a 5-dimensional space.

Not quite. It's the root of the sum of the squares. Most five year olds
don't know squaring, either, but many know multiplication, so try
KK+LL+MM+NN+OO.

Yes, I am a doofus, and forgot a crucial step.  Thanks for pointing it out.
