[math-fun] Another(?) stick length illusion
While hacking the pentagon fill, tutor Julian found www.tweedledum.com/rwg/6pents.png, which seems to work backwards: The stick larger than its context appears smaller than the stick smaller than its context. --rwg
To me the stick that is in fact longer looks like it is in fact longer. If they're supposed to be the same length I think your image needs a bit of editing. --Joshua On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 4:31 PM, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
