hobz Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 If you look at the edges you'll notice the second one takes up slighty more space then the first Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
Icetuete Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 man u guys r smart one of the hypotenuses is convex while the other one is concave. it makes it look like it'd be a triangle but it isnt. the one take about so much space more than the other one that exactly one of the square can be left out. i myself didnt get it by first look and i guess u were even faster than i was but i guess not everyone could have figured it out! that it has to be some kind of illusion was clear from the beginning, but that wasnt enough actually its sad that u two got it so fast - i hoped some more would participate
ZR440 Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 It made more sense with increased coffee consumption. And also holding a straight edge up to my monitor. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Valithor Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Its a good problem for junior maths students working with gradient. Keep Smiling!
ZR440 Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 And us college grads who haven't used our brains in a few years. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Valithor Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Very true! It can be a humbling experience to be knowledgeable of stochastic calculus and multivariable optimisation only to be stumped by a high-school geometry question.. Sorta like a 3rd Dan getting a black eye from a 3rd kyu, i guess.. Keep Smiling!
ZR440 Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Whoa there, Valithor. Your choice of vocabulary is burning my cerebral cortex. I've only had a half cup of coffee so far today, so take it easy on me. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Valithor Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Diminutionally consuming thermogenic beverages amid erudite edification plausibly effectuate vagrant coordination consequentially inducing epidermal and sub-cranial burning, however deleterious cerebral repercussion requires splendiferous disingenuousness. Hope you've had some coffee Keep Smiling!
ZR440 Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 I think you need a beer. Maybe I do too. I understood that mess. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
