That term should be clever curmudgeon LOA - lets give MagiK some credit - he was very quick to debunk the puzzle. - (A+)
I disagree with TL when he told Willow IX that "Your theory doesn't work mathematically". Irrespecive of any curvature of the hypotenuse, he had already proven mathematically that the triangles were not similar and had differing slopes. He could have given a more complete answer though by determining all ratios :
Smallest = 5 by 2 - taking that as the basis then the next triangle that is 2 high should be 7.5 long (is 8), and the big triangle which is 5 high should be 12.5 (is 13) - so to me Willow had a mathematically valid solution. (B)
NS on the rectangles though is well off beam. (F)
TL took the inventive grade 3 solution of cutting the shapes out - hmm - how to grade this answer - I know - you get a pink elephant stamp
