Ah, got it! I thought the 3x4x5 was referring to some triangular brick I
wasn't familiar with.
I think Ed "Boxer" figured out that you could make an exact 45 degree angle
using a triangle of 7 by 7 by 10 (counting studs, not spaces), or multiples
thereof, such as 14 by 14 by 20. It isn't exact, but pretty darn bear.
7 times 7 is 49, times 2 is 98, which is almost the same as 100 (10 times 10).
He used this to great effect on a castle he built with a gatehouse on a corner.
