One such lemma is that the difference of the cubes of two rational numbers is equal to the sum of the cubes of two other rational numbers, i.e. given any numbers a, b then there exist numbers c, d such that a3 - b3 = c3 + d3.

If you put two lemmas together, do you get a dilemma?

If you lack a basic norm, otherwise, yes, you can get a normative proposition.

If you cross a lemma with the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, do you get a lemma pi?

When life gives you lemmas, make lemmanade.
