Its so obvious it doesn't really need anything to explain it.
Just look at the damn bar at the end.

At the end, the third row from the bottom is slightly thinner than the
others.

That's just because he cut it inaccurately, done properly it reduces the
length of the bar by 1/4 the length of the "extra" square.

I now know why all the clapped out geriatrics in the UK have fallen
for PPI and why they send so much money to Nigerian bankers with tons
of unaccounted gold :-)

Go back to wallowing in your personal cess pit of hatred harry, you
are on more familiar ground.

Nice one. I think I've worked it out: I presume lines that are supposed to
be parallel aren't.

Ah, the difference is that the combined length is shorter. I hadn't spotted
that. I wondered whether the difference was that the diagonal edges of the
two pieces were not quite parallel, and that the area of the extra piece was
the area of a triangular air gap between the pieces. But I was wrong.

nope

The answer is that the row with the diagonal cut has become shorter in the vertical axis.
Not immediately obvious because he's left a light space on the diagonal cut where it's been re=assembled..

Niope. A diaginal cut - a single one - cant be at a different angle top
to bottom
It is the fact that the diagonal cuty by slideing te top piece relative
to the bottom shortens the stack.

By enough to leave a bit left over when the other bits are cut and
rearranged


but not this one
