64=65???

I dont geddit do u??

Look at the slopes of the slanted edges of the triangles and the quadrilaterals. The triangles have a slope (rise over run) of 3/8, while the quadrilaterals have a slope of 2/5. Obviously, this means they can't be placed flush on each other to recreate a rectangle as the animation attempts to do. The small amount of error in this, throughout the whole thing, adds up to a difference of one block.

I never saw that in the picture version of this same puzzle, however in the video, the angle is quit obviously odd.

I'm freakin out man.

Look at the following (highly exaggerated) picture to see whats really going on.

cool thx everyone

What do the chinese/japanese characters have to do with it?

um....a chinese puzzle, or optical mathmatical test possibly?

if you do the math, rise over run for the hypotenuse as the objective you will see they do not match... gj mazey, and you too cash.....thats ist year trig....woot!

i believe the formula is the pethagorean theorum, but dont quote me.... (did i cover my ass ok??)

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

isnt it the pythagorean theorum?

[EDIT]

actually thats

<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">[color=white]a<SUP>2</SUP>+ b<SUP>2</SUP>=c<SUP>2</SUP>

<SUP><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>isnt it?</o:p></SUP>

[/color]<o:p></o:p></SPAN>

Yes.

well f**k me for spelling it wrong....christ, ive been out of school for thirty years ya friggin penis's....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

and since when did you f**kers get so spelling picky??

and yes, its [color=white]a<SUP>2</SUP>+ b<SUP>2</SUP>=c<SUP>2... :razz: </SUP>[/color]

Thats what it's from.

I was alway taught that it was pythagorus' theorum

The hell I only pressed once.

It must be A Flock of Seagulls that did it cos there running so far away.

Could the DBl Post be because of this pythagorean theorum?

That one actually is true, but obviously, you can't rearrange shapes in something cut out like that and expect it to make the same figure.

That one is really bizzare! :eek:

Except it's exactly the same thing, heck the slopes of the two diagonals involved are exactly the same. It's a bit more subtle though.

ok smahtasses, give me the formula to find the area of a triangle....(excluded participants include: Mazey, CasH, cass, gollum, orph, Lep, Camp junkie, s jeff, grim, gwilliam, and any other highly cerebral SOB i can think of at my discretion.... :biggrin:

winner gets a cookie.... :wink:

Is there a picture version of this puzzle as well? Where can I find it?
