British flag theorem British flag theorem In Euclidean geometry, the British flag theorem says that if a point "P" is chosen inside rectangle "ABCD" then the sum of the squared Euclidean distances from "P" to two opposite corners of the rectangle equals the sum to the other two opposite corners. As an equation: The theorem also applies to points outside the rectangle, and more generally to the distances from a point in Euclidean space to the corners of a rectangle embedded into the space. Even more generally, if the sums of squared distances from a point "P" to the two pairs of opposite
Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For and "What the World Is Waiting For" were recorded at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall during the late summer of 1989, with additional vocal and guitar parts recorded later at London's Battery Studios, during the autumn of 1989.
