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'!!!!
