So you think you're smart? Here's your chance to show off. Whomever can CORRECTLY explain why and how this is so...well, I will give myself a tempban.
Ready?
Go.
Ready?
Go.

It's crazy to actually expect you to have to THINK for once, I know.kptk92 wrote:
x = y
u can apply temp ban now?

Well gimme a clue then, sorry if I'm not very pr0 at Maths but when theres a mod temp'ing himself, I'm very tempted to do anything necessary.ThomasMorgan wrote:

Now stop spamming my thread, lest you want an AWM.

The 64 = 65 paradox arises from the fact that the edges of the four pieces, which lie along the diagonal of the formed rectangle, do not coincide exactly in direction. This diagonal is not a straight segment line but a small lozenge (diamond-shaped figure), whose acute angle is
arctan 2/3 - arctan 3/8 = arctan 1/46
which is less than 1 degree 15' . Only a very precise drawing can enable us to distinguish such a small angle. Using analytic geometry or trigonometry, we can easily prove that the area of the "hidden" lozenge is equal to that of a small square of the chessboard.

You get banned.

Its the way that you re-arrange the shapes. The Triangles and Trapazoids all have the same area no matter what, however if you arrange their combined areas in a different pattern it could come out slightly more. In the 8x8 image they are more close to eachother, more compact. The in 5x13 one they are more spread out which allows them to take up more (but not much more) combined space.
