Hmm, sorry teacher.
I finally, at last get the point about the square on the hypoteneuse (thanks for the far clearer diagram than they used wayback at St Phil's, Steve)
But no, out of many lessons learnt including "kill gits with paintball guns" and "lop off the heads of Generator thieves" I can't think of a lesson that says "don't go to Le Mans unless you have Far More Money than me!"
"
??"
