Hole in Space?  

Posted by Ryan Sproull in





The answer to this must be something really simple that I'm overlooking. I first found this about 10 years ago, got a maths exercise book, cut the pieces out, and still couldn't work it out.
It is weird.

Thing is, the line sloping down the 'triangle' isn't actually straight. The green one decend two squares over a distance of 5 squares, the red one 4 over 8.

Arranged one way it kinks slightly inward, another slightly outward.

Suffice to say, I didn't work this out for myself.

Aw.

I was hoping for a hole in space.

Mystery solved, though :)

Ryan: Don't believe Lyndon's lies! There is a hole in space. If you truly believe it - if you believe with all ur heart - then the hole is there. ****hugz****

If you had cut it out it should've been obvious... unless you had really blunt scissors or shaky hands...

Oh, I was probably drunk. But no, scissoring was never my strong point. Thus my dashed hopes of being a world-renowned seamstress.
