| Anonymous Coward User ID: 862437 Canada04/07/2010 08:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We only separate numbers into distinct units in order to make that geometric placeholder tractable. Thing of the geometric placeholder as a the "rotating ball" of an electric typewriter. A letter is "rolled" into position at the command of the event (the typists selection). But there are no distinct letters on the ball: just a specialized embossing made distinct by the impact that raised embossing makes through the ribbon on to the paper. Our reality is that paper. |

I have not the solution. It is not about the equality of surfaces, it does not matter if the hypotenuse is precisely straight or not. BTW I apologize to the original author (unknown for me) for copyright violation, but the riddle is around very long. I hope it had not been somebody from Thales generation. |

Yes it does matter if the hypotenuse is strait. That small lack of surface area in the crocked hypotenuse accounts for exactly 1 square :) |

BTW I apologize to the original author (unknown for me) for copyright violation, but the riddle is around very long. I hope it had not been somebody from Thales generation. It does. In the upper image, the hypotenuse is concave - In the lower image, it is convex. The triangles have slightly different areas - hence the spare square. Everything is permitted.. |

Yes it does matter if the hypotenuse is strait. That small lack of surface area in the crocked hypotenuse accounts for exactly 1 square :) if you look at the 2 internal triangles, their slope is not exactly the same, therefore, you do not have a straight line in one case, accounting for the extra space when re-arranged. |

A friend introduced me to this mathematical anomaly . Quoting: Number man 936558I don’t know what it is , what it means But there is something cool Interesting about it : When you divide any number by 7 You get the same repeating series of numbers 1/7=.1428571 2/7=.2587142 3/7=.4285714 More at [link to godssecret.wordpress.com] What is this ? any one know ? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 936838 United States04/07/2010 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Nothing is true Assume each square = 1 inch hypotenuse of red triangle=sq root of 8sq*3sq=8.544003745 hypotenuse of green triangle=sq root of 5sq*2sq=5.385164807 Thus length of red and green hypotenuses = 8.544003745+5.385164807=13.92916855 BUT: hypotenuse whole triangle = Sqrt(13sq+5sq)=13.92838828 Therefore, there is a difference of 0.00078028 between length of whole triangle sqrt(13sq+5sq) and combined hypotenuses of the red and green hypotenuses (red) sqrt(8sq+3sq) + (green) sqrt(5sq+2sq)... This creates an inperceptable bulge in the top triangle hypotenuse and an inperceptable sag in the lower triangle hypotenuse. |
