A cool thing is, you can achieve the same effect by rotating the table in a circle (if possible) until you find a stable angle, since for 4 points on a circle there has to exist at least one rotation angle where they are on the same elevation.

Is there mathematical proof for this? It sounds like it could be true, but also sounds like you could actively create a floor which it wasn't true for

I'm pretty sure this doesn't account for any floor that isn't a flat plane.

It doesn't require a flat plane ground, but it does require the table legs to be equal in length
