8X8 = 5X13?

[spade]

and u think i'm MAD

[Tanzy]

Area of triangle - (8 x 3)/2=12

Area of a trapezium - [5(3+5)]/2 = 20

Total area of figure - 2 x 12 + 2 x 20 = 64

Therefore, rectangle is an optical illusion. In reality the lines won't match perfectly.

Also the angles for the triangles and trapeziums don't match.

i.e. arctangent 13/5 is not equal to arctangent 8/3, difference is very small though.

thank u, u almighty turtle

can i ask for 4D no also ??

[Tanzy]

That you will have to consult the Flowerhorn.

[wolfie]

Darn! you said the 'F' word!

AT wil arrest u under IRSA! Internal Reef Security Act!

[Achilles Tang]

I hereby place you, Tanzy, under arrest! Under suspicion of attempting to promote gambling using an entirely unfounded, unscientific and entirely illogical method that bothers on sheer stupidity.

Your reef tank will be seized and all your equipment will be confiscated.

As for you, spade, due to the shocking display of how you could be asking for 4D numbers from a sea turtle... which is also unfounded, unscientific and entirely illogical, bothering on sheer stupidty.... you are hereby sentenced to serve 10 months of community service by doing water changes with a teaspoon for the Wisma Atria fishtank.

However, since you snitched on Tanzy by highlighting this to me, I'll take 1 month off your sentence.

[Tanzy]

I'M INNOCENT! I didn't use the L word!

Mojo Joe Joe is the despicable snitch.

[Achilles Tang]

Actually, I think it was wolfie!

I'll be dropping by your place this Friday to do the seizure.

[Tanzy]

OK, I'll inform the authorities.

Wolfie's avatar is Mojo Joe Joe.

This is truly amazing guys ... true CHAOS THEORY at work here

Started as optical illusion, and one thing led to another.....just like my thread

(For those interested in Chaos theory, do a search, the 'Butterfly Effect' is quite amazing)
