the area the shapes take up is the same, its jus the arrangement, the gap comes coz of the green and orange pieces which are 5 squares long. and the red has a height of 2 squares, and the dark green has 2 squares height. rearrange the whole thing and you get that gap you see.

and wallah there you have it

wa'alykum asalam

if only i cud understand wat u mean

amani · **Re: Confusing Puzzle ! -** 12-01-2005

ok look at the bright green and orange.they fit into each other right?

now count the last line in first demo. its about 11 squares with them last 2 of the red partially coloured. so 11 squares are needed

count the last block of the orange dark green and light green. that adds up to 10 and a bit. hense there has to be a space

aaaaaaaarrggggghhhhhhh

i don't think i'll get it ever !

no explanation works........

none of the parts changes its area/ shape
so why does their movement inside the bigger triangle empties a blank ?

Sister Amani is right u just need to be patient and look at it very carefully coz its just the arrangement nutin changes.Be Patient!

its the height and length of the pieces you need to look at.........

**zAk** · **Re: Confusing Puzzle ! -** 12-01-2005

i am looking at those now for hours

salehah · **Re: Confusing Puzzle ! -** 12-01-2005

ok brother let me help..

instaed of looking at the whole picture just concentrate on the orange and light green shapes.. in the first pic you'll see orange shape directly on the green one and in the second one the orange shape is not wholey on the green but is partly over it and partly shifted ..
the two triangles are not same either the second one is larger than the first because of this shifting and one extra box is consumed..
hope this helps.

salaams!

any shifting....... no matter what, can't consume extra space.

Yes it can!

Just cut out the shapes (on photoshop if you don't want to print them) and reorganize them yourself.
