They were no doubt given this name because, when viewed from a certain angl= e, they look almost identical. It is reported that David Hilbert used to ask h= is students why these hills were so called. None of the obvious answers like ``equal height'' or ``equal shape'' satisfied this great scholar, who was a stickler for exactness. Finally he would give the answer himself: ``Because they are equal distances apart from one another.'' \stopquotation ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
