The lack of cartoon characters participating in an interesting, albeit strange insest plotline on a raft make this puzzle less than enjoyable.
I concur.
Alright, I give up. One way the gap is 8x2=16 units^2, the other way the gap is 3x5 = 15 units^2. Fine, but the two triangles should have precisely the same area, ie. 13x5/2 = 32.5. However, I can only find 27.5 units^2 worth of area. Maybe I screwed something else up. It's not some tricky-ass optical illusion, it works if you cut out paper squares too ;)
You bastard.
Wait a minute, no there's 32 units^2 worth of material there. But the whole thing should be 32.5 units^2 so where's the missing half.
With Ridikulos failing I have a felling that only the superior intelect of Joel Seminuk will be able to solve this Sphinx like mystery.
If you notice the top triagle dips in the middle and the bottom bulges just a little bit. This is because the green triangle has a slightly steaper slope than the red one. It's small enough that it tricks our eyes but also enough to cause an entire unit of square to "disappear".
But how does it work with paper then?
I think on paper it's hard to rigourously justify anything when you draw lines and triangles haphazardly by hand and then cut them out, then make a mistake and have to tape things back together, and then finally try rearranging the pieces on a soft surface like my bed.
Unless somebody else tested it under more careful conditions.
