I know this is old, but still, just wanted to bring it up. :P (scince TWHL is kinda dead? :confused: )
Have a look at this:

Actually it's wrong.
The angle of the longer pieces has a tangent of 3/8 (count the squares)
but the tangent of the angle of the other pieces is 2/5.

It means that the angle is 20,55 ? for the longer pieces but the angle for the other ones is 21,80 ?

Meaning that you can't put them together like the picture does. The angle is not the same. The extra space that is left between (if you align them properly) adds up to 1 unit, which is not much but enough to fool you :)

You're right!

Done, again the tangens of both triangles arent the same, somehow the guy whom made this has absolutely no clue how to use math's. Its so frickin simple on calculating the error using the triangle of phythagoras.
Just apply it on the green and the red triangle then using then calculate the tangens on your calculator. it will show you a differance of 0.051237168

I rest my case.

This is now the official "odd maths problem thread" :P

@Pepper: I don't get it.. :S How did you figgure it out?

these are no problems :)
if you look at it carefully it's not even a triangle :)

Yup.. You just can't pwn basic maths.. :P
That's a fact.

well if you don't see it just look more carefully at the squares or if that doesn't help get a ruler or something and look at the longest side.(don't know how it's called in english)

Please, sensible significant figures :P.

you can't just pwn maths
You can!
Ask the theory of relativety, my friend. :)
I'll give you an example! :o

We all know that, 300 000 kilometer/second is the speed of light.
And we all know that 300 000 splitted in 2 always equals 150 000.
But the last part is wrong!
It aint always 150 000.

Why?

Well, Einstein gave this example,
You are standing infront of the sun and the light passes you with the speed of 300 000 km/s.
And here's the odd part.
You fly away in half the speed of light (150 000 km/s)
logicaly, the light should now pass you in 150 km/s, but,, it doesn't?
It still passes you with the standard, 300 000 km/s.
1+1 isn't always 2, etc..

Light travelling in vacuume always passes you with the speed of 300 000 km/s.

Light is a completely different matter then calculating angles and sides.

Exactly spag, that is my point, it isnt a triangle :) .

So, anyone has anything else to show us? :>

Yeah, but it doesn't mean that (3x10^8 ms^-1)/2 != 1.5x10^8 ms^-1.

To explain it in a simpler way, lets just say that in order to place a triangle after the one that is 5x2 squares, the next triangle would have to keep this proportion (10x4 squares, 20x8 squares etc.) But the red triangle is 8x3 squares. It does not mantain that proportion, so it wouldnt line up with the green one. The drawings are very forced.

I said that you can't pwn basic math. None of that einstein/physics stuff :P
8 x 8 is basic in my record.

@7th: What stands mh and f for? I do not recognize them. The rest seems alright in the graph.

we do such things on physics lessons too :)

H = henries, F = farads. Units of inductance and capacitance, respectively.

Anyone for Sudoko?
Its a Japanese number game, look at the site for rules, and some tips on how to Sudoko!!1!

Anyone for a sudoku solving program? I didn't take the time to add backtracking to it but apart from that, it can solve most medium sudoku puzzles in it's current shape.

I hate sudoko...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-08 01:03:27 UTC Post #151008
1 + 1 = fun on a bun "ed edd and eddy = great show" weird cause i saw some kid doing a sudoko book at school 2 days ago and now i no wat it is... im more of a fan of drawing myself inflicting pain upon noobs but others enjoy sudoko :)
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-08 11:25:46 UTC Post #151093
Suduko is teh pwn!
There always follows a suduko game in the news paper, it gets harder for every day.
Monday: easy
Sunday: Hardest
I usually slove the one at saturday. :)
