[TuxDave]

There's very small overlap regions along the main diagonal. Look at the slopes.

old trick.

there is a 1 box-square of space between the green and the red triangle.

Is there any way to stop it from cycling? That's pretty annoying.

Yeah it is a very old trick. If you actually attempt to do this on a piece of cardboard and then cut them up and rearrange it, you will find out that the edges won't align perfectly.

I don't get it... It is a picture of 64 = 65? That does nothing. Am I missing something here?

 

[LeetViet]

64 != 65

It's an animation.

 

[Cobalt]

I'm gonna give this to the kids at school...
It's always fun to toss things like this at them to mess with their minds.. (to make them actually think)

64 + .999999... = 64 + .999999... in my view, that is.

wow, I thought that was outlawed in schools today....

 

[desteffy]

notice how the ones along the middle are shorter in the 65 one. thats why.

 

[zimu]

i've seen a similar trick, same solution- its in the diagonals not being completely straight.

 

[n7]

Good find...

 

[chuckywang]

This is similar to this trick.

 

[randumb]

Heh that confused me until I looked again and saw the overlaps

 

[apac]

Sorry but no matter how hard you try there is no way you'll convince me 64 skittles is the same as 65.
