From Paddy Paddam

I wish to submit my solution to the first of your Greek Problems of
Antiquity. However, my proof of how to “square” the circle or “construct a
circle whose area is the same as a given circle” (sic) takes only one line of
text and no fast computers. I thus fear it would be inadmissible.
