This is quite clearly NOT an "impossible" figure! I'll try to explain.... (I have left some space so you should be able to see one picture first and get used to it before you go on to the next picture...) Take two of these blocks: ________ ________ /\ \ /\ \ / \ \/ \ \ / \ \ \ \ / \_______\ \_______\ \ / / / / \ / / / / \ / /\ / / \/_______/ \/_______/ And look at it "from the side", just like this stick man: ______ / _ \ / >(') \ \ ( >)'\ \ '' | / ______/ ________ ________ / / /\ \ /\ \ / / / \ \/ \ \ / / __O / \ \ \ \ / / /| ---\ / \_______\ \_______\ / / / ---/ \ / / / / / / /| \ / / / / / / // \ / /\ / / \_/ / `` \/_______/ \/_______/ / | \ What the stick man sees: ____ .-' _ `-. / >(') \ | ( >)' | \ '' / `-. .-' | | | | | | | | ___I__I___ | | | | _____I____ | | | | | | | | |_____| | | | | | | _______|__________|_`-._____________ Remove the tree and the ground and get this: __________ | | | | _____I____ | | | | | | | | |_____| | | | | |__________| Add a third block: __________ | | | | | |__________ | | | | | | |__________I____ | | | | | | | | |_____| | | | | |__________| (see, quite possible :) Look at it from the first angle again: ________ /\ \ / \ \ / \ \ / \_______\ \ / / ___\ / ____/___ /\ \ / /\ \ / \ \/___/ \ \ / \ \ \ \ / \_______\ \_______\ \ / / / / \ / / / / \ / /\ / / \/_______/ \/_______/ DON'T get confused by this just because it reminds a little about this famous triangle: ____ / /\ / / \ / / \ / / \ / / /\ \ / / / \ \ / / /\ \ \ / / / \ \ \ / /___/____\ \ \ / \ \ \ /________________\ \ \ \ \ / \_____________________\/ The three blocks are NOT "aligned" in the way that the three corner cubes of the impossible triangle are: ____ / /\ /___/ \ / /\ /\ / / \/ \ / / /\ \ / / / \ \ / / /\ \ \ / / / \ \ \ /___/___/____\ \ \ / / \ \ /\ /___/____________\___\/ \ \ \ \ \ / \___\_____________\___\/ [I hope this made sense to _somebody_] -- _ ____ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _| |__/ __ \| |_ _ __| |__| | | |_ _| |_| |_ ___ ___ \ V / / / / _` | | || / _` / _` |_| | || | _| ' \ _(_-</ -_) \_/|_\_\ \__,_|_|\_,_\__,_\__,_(_)_|\_,_|\__|_||_(_)__/\___| \____/ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/news LIKE MY SIG?
