Etymology

The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most useful equations in all of geometry. This is one in a series of mathematically-inspired seed names.

My Review

This is a beautiful, scenic map chock full of numerous rock formations that are absolutely gorgeous. However, above and beyond all the others are the Pythagorean Quintuplets -- a series of four individual mountains that are so close together you could connect them with bridges. The first three (Harriet, Judy, and Celeste) are steep craggy rocks that are hard to climb but full of resources like iron. The fourth -- Bertha -- however is a massive imposing Everest-like mountain full of creepers and death.

Images

A view of the quintuplets. The three little ones up front (from left to right) are Celeste, Judy, and Harriet. Behind them (far left) in the distance is Bertha.

At right, this is actually an open-air cave out of which is pouring a waterfall. You can find it at -9.87.157. Really cool find and if you kill off the zombie, you can glowstone this thing and make it your living room.
