any solution for this little riddle?



enjoy

I DON'T KNOW.

I'm sure it has something to the sloping line and the fact it devides some of the squares...

Isn't there half a square missing from the top one ?

i don't think so...

- the slope cannot be a straight line and intersect the grid - 2:5 is not 3:8. Otherwise it all makes sense

Isn't the sharpest angle of the red triangle a little different from the one in the green triangle? It's just as much as to make the relation between the cathetes different in the 2 triangles. If the green triangle is high 2 squares and large 5 squares, the red one that is high 3 squares should be large 7 and half squares, while it shows to be large 8 squares. That means that if you put the green (shorter) one up the other two L shaped polygones and the red (longer) aside, they will have less room than the other way around.

Cool anyway, I have to show it around...

You've beaten me in time!

congrats to wayne and alfonso!!

wayne was first so he wins a dsp booster with 30 300mhz sharc dsp's

alfonso wins our respect for explaining the solution more detailed
