In "Would You Give This Student Full Credit?," which is probably an off-topic blog for TSS, Weiqi Gao shows a truly astounding (and very obvious) answer for a question on the Pythagorean Theorem, with another example of such obvious answers coming in a comment to the blog.
It made Your Humble Author wonder: how often do we skip the obvious answer in an attempt to be engineers, mathematicians, or anything else to fulfill our self-images?
