Now look at that same (X,Y) point on the lower diagram, which is now within the Red triangle. See how far it's within the Red?
In looking at the top diagram, your eye tends to assume that it's one giant triangle made up of 4 pieces. But hold a piece of paper up, with the edge along that diagonal line, and you'll see that it's really not one straight line after all!
-
difference between that inward bend and the outward bend, when spread across that line, actually amounts to one whole square. (the math is easy on this, trust me)
To further prove it, look at the point of inflection on the top diagram (where the red triangle touches the green triangle.) In the top diagram, it's exactly on the interersection of lines on the grid.

with a small inward bend. Two straight lines, but meeting at a wide angle (not quit 180 degrees, which would be a straight line.. more like 179 degrees (estimated))
In the second diagram, it's a small "outward bend" along that same edge. (it's two straight lines again, but they do not run at the same slant relative to the page, so they meet at an angle.)
The d

i was reading the maths thingy that you posted back in 2005 and found the answer (:
The answer is that the two diagrams don't take up the same amount of space elsewhere. It LOOKS like the top 4 pieces make up a triangle, when in fact it's really a 4-sided figure. The diagonal "line" runnning along the top left (of the first diagram) is actually two line segments with a small i

We did a 3000 mile trip to the french alps for the megavalnche last year. 9 people, 13 bikes in a f**ked LDV minibus. Was a right laff, read all about it here. Off in two weeks to do much the same thing again, I'm excited. All you need for a road trip is some like minded idiots and a vehicle, the rest will sort itself...

Sweet! That shit is off the hook. EDIT: Works fine for me...

Word to that. It's a lot of fun but can be dangerous. I fell 10m into a cravass whilst off piste in Flaine and had to be winched out. Be careful kids.

You sure it's not something to do with the payapl account you're sending it to? I had a bit of similar trouble but I think it was down to the seller being unverified or going over certain limits or summat.

This make any sense?

'Abso-bloody-exactly' 'Shit! Did you see that, he must have a foot like a traction engine!' 'This paedophile has disguised himself as a house.' 'Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.'

That costs money though. Buying summat then selling it on is basically a free hire. It's a well good way to do it, we bought a LDV mini bus for a road trip to the alps and then sold it for £75 less than we bought it.
