As everyone else seems to have had a go at this, I always thought that it
was "Quod\Quid est demonstrandum". Unfortunately, I don't have my Latin
grammar here in my office - it's at home. So which is it? Surely you can
have a gerundive with the present to mean "that which must be demonstrated"
- i.e "Prove it". I never did any Euclid but I hope that and the fact that
this has nothing to do at all with B-Greek or the NT doesn;t debar this
message or result in flames and other such nonsense.
Oh, and by the way - could someone remind this rather forgetful idiot what
the difference is between 'quid' and 'quod'!!!!
