puzzle solution

Justin Kelly — 7/30/2001 5:41:55 PM (archived)

Its more deceptive on a computer monitor than on papper, I solved it before in eithe rlate elemetary school or late middle. Look at the green and red trianlges, thier hypotenuse is not hte same, the green has a rise over run of 2/5 while the red is 3/8 close but no cigar.

This creates a bend in the line of the overall triange, in the top picture the bend is inward, but in the bottom hte ben d in outward, and area taken up by that outward bend is represented by that extra space.
