The Indian mathematician Baudhayana proved the theorem around 800 BC, 300 years before Pythagoras. Johnnie come lately them Greeks.

You got a maths problem, just call the Indian restaurant and ask them to send the answer round.

Mind you, the Chinese take-away will probably claim to be able to get it to you within 30 minutes.....
