Fractals are the visual representations of math equations that come out infinite such as 1.11111111111111111111111ad infinitum that we have only been able to see with the invention of computers, right?
How does that correlate with Pythagorean theorum?

Fractals are iterative mathematical equasions represented in graphical form. They have infinitely complex outlines while mantaining a finite area.
Wikipedia can tell you more than you ever want to know
The pythagorean theorum talks about right trianges, a^2=b^2+c^2
not sure how the hell they're supposed to be related.
The Koch Snowflake uses triangles, but they're not right triangles...

Do what now?

I'll divide your legs, then we can multiply.

What?
I thought it was A^2 •B^2=C^2?
A and B being the legs, C being the hypotenuse. I guess it doesn't really matter, but still.
I'm having a hard time getting out of the 10's is my multiplication chart...

It's also plus, not times.

I believe the art is just a graphical representation of this particular variety of mathematical formula. It is basically a complex repeating pattern. You can carve it up as finely as you want, or expand it outwards as far as you want, but the particular pattern will always be present.
You can change the pattern by changing certain variables in the equation, one such variation being the mandlebrot set.
The only other thing I know about it is that fractal images and equations are a favorite in chaos theory. Among other things, it expresses nicely the idea that there is determinism without predictability. In other words, we cannot predict future events in complex systems, but that doesn't mean the system is random. We can always look back and identify the cause-effect relations among events in a post hoc fashion.

The answer is 42. I'm so glad you didn't ask to show our work.

If you are really interested in fractals, a nice little book you may be interested in is 'Fractals' by Hans Lauwerier translated by Sophia Gill-Hoffstadt. Its relatively inexpensive on Amazon and seems like it should be a good read for the average reader. If you would like more references, let me know. I am currently working on my doctorate in Mathematics and my undergraduate advisor did work in the field, so I know a few others.
