A poorly played game of Tetris....
? :)
WARNING SPOILER:
the slopes are different in the two hypotenuses are different.
No... you're wrong. Put it in an image editing program and you'll see every side length/angle measure/slope is exactly the same.Quote:

actually your wrong to the eye it will look exactly the same
but if you were to calculat the area of each colored area in each triangle they wil be the same but to do that you would need to actually have a physical object because there are gaps in the first triangle that would leave an area equal to the missing square in the second
see told yaQuote:
That's the worst pie chart I've ever seen! :(
the slope is the same for both: 13/5
that means all lines are not straight.
bloody hell. you guys could have at least pretended to be stumped for a couple of days. :cry:
psst...adidad...slope is actually rise over run, my inverse-slope-calculating friend.
Oh. Don't feel bad, Ice.
I'm still stumped. :(
DAMN YOU YES DAMN ALL LINES BY DEFINITION ARE STRAIGHT GET IT IN YOUR SKULLS STRAIGHT LINE IS REDUNDENTQuote:

Sorry, no. Ya can have curved lines, crooked lines, etc. As with pretty much any disagreement or argument, it depends entirely on definitions.
You can tell the triangles aren't the same.
err... wait no! yep it's too hard. :P

you proved my point in this area of use of line which would be

making a line by definition straight
Yeah, docthory, that's one definition out of what must be about 4 pages. Read some of the others. My point is that words have different definitions depending on how one uses/intends them. You seem to have picked up one definition and treating it as the only one that anybody in the discussion is using... so... yah. Basically, things ain't so objective, nominalism is a BIG problem in any sort of discussion.
yes yes yes words have many definitions but in this case line by defintion is straight ... it is no use to argue with me im a math nerd and know what im talking about .

the missing square
That puzzle sucked.
It's not even mathematical and very hard to detect. Lol. :lol:
When you're talking mathmatically, yes, a line by definition is straight. But there are many, many other definitions of "line", just as valid but perhaps less apt given the mathematical nature of this puzzle, and just yelling out abusively that people are thick for using any other definiton, doesn't really help to clear things up. :PQuote:

apperently you havent noticed that i am called the" resident ass" i can yell at who ever i feel like
o and lines are straight
Wait! So there are squares?
One of them is missing?
Where am I?
:cry:

COOL!
SHIT! Somebody better delete this thread before Leo sees it, else he might go getting funny ideas, and then... hoe my god...
Wait! I got it!
One of the lines isn't straight, guys!!!
sloth, you're a genius! :)
:D sloth :D
