Puzzle Hi Adrian. It is very confusing. The confusion is that we accept everthing we see. The secret lies in the two complete triangles. We assume the top line is straight, whereas in actual fact lower one is convex It can then be seen that the top one is slightly concave, passing un-noticed to the unwary eye. The area created is enough to allow a further square to be added in the lower triangle. Cheers Keith
Yes I can see that now, or at least work out that it has to be the case. Not convex or concave in the sense of a curve, but as a dogleg of two straight lines. The two triangles are not the same shape, which is what I and presumably most viewers were assuming. The green one is 5 x 2; the red one is 8 x 3 - but to be the same shape as the green it would have to be 7.5 x 3
Brain vss Eye Here's a nice shot of camels in the desert, What takes time to see is that the black shapes are shadows cast by a very low sun and the camels are the little white sqiggles below them. mg: Cheers Keith
Think we need to get this back to a general quiz guys and gals. So here is my question for you all. What area of London was housing and is now one of London's top parks? If you answer this one correctly please post another general quiz type question. Cheers Sniper [Mike]
Okay Kitty, you have it, your turn for a question. Now don't forget a nice easy one to start with as not all members are as brainy as you. Sniper
i got it right? Damn that was a lucky shot. What is it please? If you get its design number then you also win a crisp :hippie:
Going for a guess here but is a battle headquarters on an raf aerodrome where plans would be sent out for the defence of the airfield Sniper
On hearing of a proposal to fire-bomb the Black Forest, Britain's cabinet minister, Kingsley-Wood, said in September, 1938, "Oh, we can't do that, that's private property, next you will be insisting that we bomb the Rhur!"
Good Googling Kitty - That answer is quite correct. I really do hope you were not related to that fool! Your Question!
Nah, am all for burning pine forests :> Hmm a question: What is the connection of Leo Marks to a famous film? and I want the FULL quote please
From Carve Her Name With Pride? The life that I have is all that I have And the life that I have is yours The love that I have of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have, a rest I shall have And death will be but a pause For the years I shall have in the long green grass Are yours and yours and yours.
Leo Marks wrote the poem All That I Have, as used by the character Odette in the film. Your question Andy
