The Pythagorean cup.

Pythagoras, supposedly needed an efficient way to ensure that all this students got equal amounts of wine.

And in all his spectacle brilliance, designed the Pythagorean cup that holds just the optimal amount of wine.

If the user was too greedy and poured wine over the limit, the cup would spill its entire content!  Well as they say:

He who wants everything every time, loses everything anytime.

The reason why this works and thus truly portraying the finesse contemplation of the Pythagoras of Samos’s mind is what is known today as Siphoning.

Trolling Pythagoras

Trolling is an age old tradition, and whether Pythagoras was trolled or honored after this invention is not known.

But there is a loophole in the Pythagoras cup, which this Internet world has trolled in this image.

But whether this method was actually abused by his followers, has not been historically accounted for.

Have a good one!
