            Good one. What seems like a straight line is actually not a straight line. That is the solution. This can be proved geometrically Nish My most recent CP article :- A newbie's elementary guide to spawning processes www.busterboy.org

                      On the first triangle on top : (hey no pun :-O :-O ) The height of the green triangle is 2, and the width of its base is 5. The height of the red triangle is 3, and the width of its base is 8. The green triangle is on top, and its base forms the top of the rectangle (the mustard and light green shapes). The red triangle is to the left, and its right edge forms the left side of the rectangle(the mustard and light green shapes). This gives a rectangle of length 5 and height 3, and with an area of (5 * 3) = 15. The second triangle switches the red triangle and the green triangle. This means the bottom of the red triangle forms the top of the rectangle (ignore the two shapes inside), and the right side of the green triangle forms the left side of the rectangle. This yields a rectangle of length 8 and height 2, and with an area of (8 * 2) = 16. But the hole? This is simply because the two shapes, while forming a rectangle of area 15 in the first triangle, still have a combined area of 15 in the second. The way the shapes are separated allows them to be combined so as to look like a 8 x 2 rectangle, but, since you can't create extra area that didn't exist before, the shapes naturally have a "hole."
