The grids don't line up, there's enough slop to account for the discrepancy.

Shenanigans. I'm going to have to try it with graph paper, but I remember that being the issue when we discussed it in a geometry session (with math majors, mind you.)

If I'm wrong, so be it, but there's some sketchiness there.

I'll give him this, I thought he was trying to prove it mathematically, which is why I was giving him crap. The optical illusion is a good one, though.
