Theodarian and Practicary were once best friends. They were fishing, solving mathematical problems, catching earthworms. Life is simple but good. A day is mere seconds to both of them. As they grew up, problems emerge. Over money? Over love? Over reputation? Well, these are common debate questions between the both of them.

Theodarian is a smart person. And as his name suggests, he is well versed in theories. Theories of life. Theories of mathematics. Theories of universe. Theories almost about anything. He soon became a wealthy person. But his character did not get rich. In fact, it soon became a dumping ground for anything nice.

Practicary too grew up to be a man. But he did not get rich. He believes in practicality. Rich is not the only tool to be practical. Character is, that is his belief. Few years later, he married a nice young lady. Things suddenly change.

Theodarian saw, Theodarian lusted. Theodarian planned. Theodarian executed. Practicary did not see things coming. Bankrupt. Assets gone in just one day. Wife one day later is raped. Who else? Things are not going on well for Practicary and even worse, she hanged herself.

Disappointed. Dejected. Defensive. Practicary can't believe his own eyes that his best friend (or should I say ex best friend) is the mastermind behind his downfall.

Revenge. Revenge. Revenge. This is all he can think of.
"Since he is so good with his theories, let me pose a challenge to him."

In 15th BC, a challenge was posed.
Can you construct a perpendicular bisector and a angle bisector using a compass and a ruler?

Ultimate challenge is set. At that moment of time, no one can solve this question.
Practicary shouted, "If you can, I will give you back my memories."

No one knew that Practicary is Theodarian's friend. No one knew that Theodarian, the generous kind guy, is the mastermind behind Practicary's downfall. Everyone thought that it is just Practicary's sheer bad luck.

Now this challenge is set in a year for Theodarian. He think and he think and he think.

A few times, he almost constructed it but failed.

One year is up. Did he win the challenge?
