Anyone knows why?
Eh don't understand... can simplify bit bit? Thanks... really appreciate itOriginally posted by the Bear:that one was in MRT station..
actually that one can be explained mathematically with Similar Triangles...
the hypotenous of both the "triangles" are not straight..

Actually it was quite simple.. one of them is NOT a triangleOriginally posted by the Bear:i'd need the diagram to explain
Very confusing...Originally posted by Pitot:In the pic when there is 13 ppl. the most top row 2nd person from left wearing black tee is extra one..
Notice when he move from his place on the right to the left, his shoe remains on the right. then it is filled by the person on the left. SO the guy which was from the right move to the left. without new shoes. Therefore creating a thirteen guy!

its cuz one of the pairs (or triplet, cant remember, I saw this pic a long time ago so this time I didnt bother to look again) of persons when switched will turn into 2 (or 3) cuz of the way they are drawn.Originally posted by Honeybunz:PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE GROUP CHANGES POSITIONS. IS IT TWELVE OR THIRTEEN??
This will drive you crazy!
WHERE DOES THE EXTRA MAN COME FROM? don't ask me; I haven't figured it out

the big triangle (combined) is not a triangle, as the hypotenuses of the smaller triangles are at different angles and gradients[/b]
Eh ya lar... where?Originally posted by skyfoo:another one.
3 guys check into a hotel costs $30, meaning each pays $10.
as it's promotional period, the hotel offers $5 discount.
the manager den tells his staff to refund the 3 $5.
the staff feels that it's difficult to divide $5 among the 3, ka po $2.
thus, the staff returns each $1.
so, it means that the 3 pays $9($10 - $1) each.
but, 3 x $9 = $27
$27 + $2 (from the staff) = $29
so where's the missing 1 dollar?
Yeah.. but some people see it as a big triangle.. anyway u get what i meanOriginally posted by the Bear:huh?
nah.. there were 2 figures which were not triangles.. and 2 others that were..
the 2 triangles seemed to make a straight line which wasn't..
Manipulation... wah... these things look longer, think longer, no solution, very agitating and frustrating leh...Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Yeah.. but some people see it as a big triangle.. anyway u get what i mean
