Everything you know is wrong

These two table tops are exactly the same size and shape.

I'll say that again because you don't believe me: They are exactly the same size and shape. They are exactly the same size and shape.

I Googled about for a good "proof" of this, but the best I found invited you to print it out and take a pair of scissors to the task.

I tried fingers and a ruler on the screen, and playing about a bit in MS Paint. Watch as your ruler or fingers change size as you work it out.



I don't believe it either.
