 Hi,
 This is very nice.
 
  It worked for some others also,
   12-(12/8)+(5/2) = 12 -3/2 + 5/2 = 12 +(5-3)/2 = 13
   
   20-(20/8)+(15/2)= 20 -5/2+15/2 = 25
   
  but failed at, (better to say approximately correct)
   24-(24/8)+(7/2) = 24 -6/2+7/2  = 24.5
   
  It will definetely produce hypotenuse with sides less than
  20,even for real numbers.
bye,
mlpreddy.
