20. The Scarecrow’s Brains Were Defective

When the Scarecrow is granted his diploma, he recites the Pythagorean Theorem to show off his brilliant noggin. However, he gets the math wrong. He refers to an isosceles triangle when it actually applies to a right triangle. He also talks about square roots, when it should really just be squares. Ray Bolger just couldn’t spout the theorem correctly, so they had him talk fast and hoped nobody would notice.
