565.0. "<><><> Gaining or losing a unit of area <><><>" by THEBUS::KOSTAS (Wisdom is the child of experience.) Fri Aug 15 1986 13:12
Well,
I will not be around (for the next 4 weeks) to see the
solution to this problem but I will enter it any way:
An 8 by 8 square, area 64, is cut and rearranged
as a rectangle, 5 by 13, area 65, or as a bouble-flag,
area 63. What is the explanation?
Enjoy,
Kostas G

| 565.1 | I don't understand the question | MODEL::YARBROUGH | | Fri Aug 15 1986 14:24 | 1 |
| What is a bouble-flag?

| 565.2 | Where's the extra unit? | SMURF::DIKE | | Fri Aug 15 1986 14:39 | 7 |
| I think I saw this question before in this file, but I don't remember
where. Any way, the answer is...
...the extra unit is hidden in a little slice of empty space that
runs the length of the diagonal of the figure.
