I think both these bands are tepid and overrated, but only one of them has members pulling double duty in a vegan straightedge hardcore band, and they also happen to write better songs.
I don't know why Fall Out Boy vs. Panic! at the Disco was ever a discussion. FOB could make Panic's discography in their sleep, but Panic couldn't even fumble together Folie à Deux if they tried.

It's my understanding that origami has been used to solve some mathematical challenges that defy the compass and straightedge.
(Pretty sure it adds a few things to the toolbox)
Do you know if it has had any success with transcendental numbers?

Methods that rely on more than classical compass & straightedge, or hypothetical solutions involving *infinite* steps COULD square the circle & it's an interesting exercise to 'approach' solutions with clever tricks.
As for me, I have a solution everyone overlooked!

An algebraic number can be expressed as the solution to a polynomial equation.
Take √2 (sq rt 2) = 1.4142857... which is irrational but algebraic, because it's the solution to x²-2 = 0.
Pi (π) is 'non-algebraic' or, properly, 'transcendental'.
But our compass & straightedge can only create...

Transcendental numbers include famous examples like e and π, but it took mathematicians centuries to understand them.

The challenge:
Construct a square with the SAME AREA as a given circle using finite steps with a compass & straightedge.
Why is that hard? A circle of radius = 1 has area π.
To make a square of the same area, we just make each side exactly √π (the square root of pi).
side √π x side √π = area π

Contrary to popular belief, not all Skinheads choose to "smoke and drink". There is an "elite" subset of our culture that choose to live "clean in body and in mind". We call these folks "Straight Edge" (i.e. "Ninja Skins").

You'll also note that there's a fancy stencil in that picture. I'm not immune to the siren song of art supplies.
But it turns out that the only thing I needed out of that stencil is a straightedge and bookmark. (It's great at both!)

Cross-cutting a wide panel on the table saw. Measure the distance from the saw blade to the edge of the table (in this case 22¹/³²) and clamp a straightedge to ride the end. The first trim is easy enough, though the second cut can be a little finicky because it requires some back-measuring.
