I KNEW this looked familiar.

I want there to be a reason that the first letters of the number names are in a pattern as well (z, o, t, t, s, s, f, f, z)... But it's not reverse alphabetical order, because 3/2 and 5/4 would be out of place.

I dream in binary.

You made a small error (you skipped 2).
It should be:

0 000
1 001
3 011
2 010
6 110
7 111
5 101
4 100
0 000

There's no 8 in binary?

HungLikeJesus · 01-14-2012, 09:16 AM

There's no I in team. But there is an i in meat pie. And meat is an anagram of team.

8 in binary is 1000.

footfootfoot · 01-14-2012, 09:24 AM

This one is interesting and relies on powers of observation, note that the four trianlges are re-arranged into two different rectangles, one square the other oblong with different numbers of squares.

'splain.

But you're not supposed to eat your team right?

HungLikeJesus · 01-14-2012, 09:44 AM

Is this implying that if you cut up the one on the right you could re-arrange the pieces to make the one on the left?

footfootfoot · 01-14-2012, 09:45 AM

yes, and vice versa. Note the bold vertical line on the left is now two offset shorter vertical lines on the right. flopping the triangles is part of it.

Clodfobble · 01-14-2012, 10:03 AM

Because you can't actually cut the pieces like that, though it's close. The angle of the triangles doesn't match the angle of the rectangles with slanted tops.

Rise over run of triangles = 3/8 = 15/40
Rise over run of angled pieces = 2/5 = 16/40

There would be a sliver of a gap along the main diagonal in the right-hand picture, enough to add up to one square's worth.

footfootfoot · 01-14-2012, 11:22 AM

God, you are so hot when you terms like rise over run. But it's 3/8 and 3/5.

You're nuts. In your second picture, look at the diagonal on the right. Count the squares. Up two, over five.

footfootfoot · 01-14-2012, 01:06 PM

It's even hotter when you point out my obvious mistakes.

In my defense, I was thinking about other things when I was counting those squares.
