[Afterglow]

My God.. what does it all mean?
It's hard..

[ChocoNutz]

argh i don't see it!

*dumb*

[BWilli]

what's not to see....it's clear as day

[vt]

can someone explain it? i still dont get it.

[BWilli]

the orange and light green shapes are different sizes...in order for the whole thing to be the same size...the gap must be there

atleast that's how i'm looking at it

ok...the top and bottom shapes are the same size,right...but the pieces are in different locations, right

in order for the bottom shape to be the same size as the top, that gap must be there...it is created because the orange shape is moved down and over in order to make the two shapes the same length...

[BWilli]

hahahaha.....wait....i've been looking at it all wrong...

the two large figures as a whole are not actually triangles, they are quadrilateral....the hypotenuses of the red triangle and green triangle are not co-linear...

the top shape is concaved, while the bottom is convexed
the hole makes up the difference after the shapes have been moved around

it's pretty neat illusion...
