Ain't the size of the triangle detemined by the outer lines not the 'content' or volume of what's inside it?? So if you move shit around on the inside, it still stays the same size? Oh fuck it! Lol! I have no idea what Im on about!? It must be magic!

if u look along the hypotenuese of the 2 of em against the grid, u will notice that strangely the lowere one seems to be using up more volume....however...the other sides of the triangle are exact...which means that this is a manipulation
what u see in that picture is not triangles. the first figure is a bounded non-convex quadrangle, and the sloping "line" is not the hypotenuse. in fact, the hypotenuse doesn't exist at all; u can easily prove (by using any trigonometric function) that there's a "hidden" angle in the middle of the pseudo-hypotenuse. that fourth angle is very close to a flat one and therefore looks like a line. now, in the second picture u have different angles again, which gives u a different area.

I was just about to make that point myself.

Is it just me, or could Acid Junkie be just about the smartest man on the planet? LOL

Seen it before, I hardly remember but I think the upper curve is slightly higher in the second, therefore leaving a gap at the bottom with the space left

there was like a 20-page thread about this and someone figured out that the squares in the background are there to make the hypotenuses look straight, while they're actually curved. the angle sum doesn't equal to 180 degrees in either of these triangles
that's what Acid Junkie was talking about
