Joshua Quinn Inner circle with an outer triangle 2054 Posts	Posted: Nov 14, 2007 05:48 pm 0 I've developed a new model for Escher's "impossible crate" illusion: http://www.mentallyimpossible.com/newcrate.jpg Unlike the Jerry Andrus model... http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/servic......4-34.gif http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/servic......-34c.gif ...or the "cutaway" model... http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5639/......te_b.jpg http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5639/......te_c.jpg ...this one can be moved around a bit without destroying the illusion. You can see it in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCLZ6uLeuw0 Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

Joshua Quinn Inner circle with an outer triangle 2054 Posts	Posted: Nov 19, 2007 08:30 pm 0 Thanks for the kind words. Nir, I'm afraid I don't know what visio format is. I'm working on building one myself, and I can send you the dimensions. Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.
