I am confused, how the FUCK does this work? (animated)

i don't know man,
now my mind is full of fuck

At the end, there actually exists a crack in between the 2 resulting triangles they are adding together, which, even though it looks minute, sums up to be 1 full unit in size.

Isn't possible, at least in the numerical aspect.

You could perhaps take advantage of the varying sizes of the "cut off" squares in order to put on an illusion of an additional or missing square.

This reminds me of fibonacci numbers...

>>1845295
oh yeah
...5,8,13....
5*13=65
(8^2)+1=65
Sometimes you have to add one or subtract one from the square

>>1845301
8, 13, 21
8x21=168
(13^2)-1=168
that's weird

Some opportunistic math style you have right there.

You know what op, you should just get scissors, paper and see how it works

I just worked some of these out, and it forms an alternating pattern.

1,1,2:
1x2 = 1^2+1

1,2,3:
1x3 = 2^2-1

2,3,5:
2x5 = 3^2+1

3,5,8:
3x8 = 5^2-1

5,8,13:
5x13 = 8^2+1

If I were better at math I'm sure I'd figure out some simple reason *why* these numbers are correlated like that, but for now it's just weird and kind of awesome, sort of like how if you add odd numbers in series starting at 1 you always get the next perfect square.
