My adjurement to an earlier poster to "Play Fair" was a pun on "Playfair's theorem" from Euclidean geometry, after the poster had mentioned that a**2 + b**2 = c**2 does not hold in some curvilinear coordinate systems. (Playfair's theorem goes along with sum of angles of triangle being 180 degres goes along with ...)
