nice trick

however when the two main triangles join for the rectangle, they dont match...
and at the top right theres a little glitch you can catch...

this creates a chain effect and equals the 1 square missing..

although i like the other one better with the hole in it... that was challenging

I figured it may be useless posting this question up.. seeing as though i figured many of u would figure the answer out in a split second... or instead maybe attack me after i give the answer if no one ends up figuring it out which i doubt...

but meh.. who cares...

11+60 = 12

by the way there are two solution to this... maybe even 3...

The diagram is shown inaccurately. The first segment of the diagonal of the rectangle has a gradient of 2/5 while the rest has a gradient of 3/8. Shown in attachment.

*sigh
let a=b, a!=0
a<sup>2</sup>=ab
a<sup>2</sup>+a<sup>2</sup>-2ab=ab+a<sup>2</sup>-2ab
2(a<sup>2</sup>-ab)=a<sup>2</sup>-ab
2=1
65=64

let a=b
a<sup>2</sup>=ab
a<sup>2</sup>+a<sup>2</sup>-2ab=ab+a<sup>2</sup>-2ab
2(a<sup>2</sup>-ab)=a<sup>2</sup>-ab .....(1)
2=1 .....(2)
65=64

from (1) to (2) you divided by 0 cause a<sup>2</sup>-ab = a<sup>2</sup>-a(a)

11 + 60 = 12

11 + 1 = 12

just a stab

wow.. i never thought of that.. although that's not the answer... but that could work.. the fact that u decided to put 6 to the power of zero... is a good sign that ur on the right track.. it's quite simple really.. just add a few things here and there... and u'll see that the answer was starring u right in the face...
