Well, not to brag, but today i sneezed so loud that a neighbour 2 houes down and across yelled "bless". So, yeah, kind of famous.

That would be 2√2 or √8 houses.

What am I missing here?

A taco?

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Well, yeah. Duh. That goes without saying.

2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let's pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding...√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2

this is a european old city, so definitely a non-euclidian space.
