Now you had better post the reason/solution, or I will be upset :-[.

Hint:

[hide]Check and compare the coordinate (5,2) (measured from the left tip of the triangle) of the two triangles. [/hide]

Solution:

[hide]The two triangles are not actual triangles because with both there is one side (the hypotenuse) not straight but curved (1 inwards, 1 outwards) This gives a difference in area of both triangle. Because of the arrangements of the blocks, that difference is compressed in one square. The upper "triangle" has a smaller area than the lower "triangle".

Nasty...[/hide]

just a small note. . hidden text doesn't work in IE7. The [tt]text[/tt] part does, the [tt]hidden[/tt] doesn't.

Crappy IE, what does it do wrong this time?

I though you normally used Opera?

[erjin999]

Its visible once its pointed out  :P

If you are using Firefox 0.7, the triangles actually look like circles.

Both with Opera and IE7 the hidden stuff looks like this.

And yes I usually use Opera ;)

Nope. Hidden text works fine in IE 7, that's what I'm using. Looks like ur using a different stylesheet!

Anyone else got a puzzle to share? Don't really want to discuss browsers here :)
