This social distancing joke is even better because it’s in Spanish (and the people not getting it)
We’re grateful to @daraobriain over on Twitter who highlighted this joke about social distancing and said: ‘This is almost more perfect because it’s in Spanish.’
And he’s absolutely right.

And then it got even better thanks to people who said stuff like this.
This worries me; this is not mathematically correct. If the top two people and bottom two people are 1.5 m apart, then using Pythagorean Theorem would mean the people at diagonals would be 2.1m apart not 1.5m. pic.twitter.com/JssSQzrzfq

Yes, that’s why he made a joke about Pythagoras being dead.

It’s possible to imagine a situation when it’s not incorrect. Just unlikely.
It’s a poor sketch of a 3D-situation, but it is possible: by having three people in an equilateral triangle with sides of length 1.5m, and one person hovering at a height of roughly 1.22m above (or below) the center of the triangle.

And it reminded people of something similar from a while back.
