It's always a gamble. Will it be 2 hours or 20? Only one way to find out

Update: Today it was the former. Whether that's lucky or unlucky, I'll leave that to the reader's interpretation.

Also, not all irrational numbers can even be squared into rationals

If there's nobody left to oppress, there is no oppression!

Then they gather into units of quaternions and start rotating matrices

Stalin talking about "no oppression" is quite ironic

So they've made it into a religion, huh. Not like that wasn't a case before, but still.

If only some side lengths are irrational, then, by definition, there is no ratio of whole numbers that describes those lengths relative to each other - therefore, you can't divide them out to be whole. Unless all side lengths are irrational and also share the same irrational multiplier (like root(2) in your example).
