Riddle: A triangle has sides of 13, 18 and 31 inches. What is the triangle's area?
Answer: Zero.  The two shorter sides of a triangle, when added together (13+18=31), must be greater than the third or longest side (31) for it to be a triangle by definition.  Therefore, the result would be two parallel lines with an area of 0.
