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. |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Nice one. I think I've worked it out: No you havent.

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