Missing Piece Puzzler

[nicolai1234567890987]

NICE !!!



[ZXLiquid94]

i think you the missing piece color is black

[TheJokstersx]

@minecubing shut the fuck up u whore is i guess u have no life cuz YOUR commenting on this video dumbass

[234562bob]

how do you print it

[Tman56182]

nice one TheForward

[TheForwarrd]

just shove the piece of paper up your ass. boom

[sharlhany]

the area increases and thats all



[M3RSADI3S]

this is just fucked up im so stupid daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[hackster7707]

You can see it in the final configuration the triangle at the bottoms right half doesn't line up with the rest of the pieces on the left

[hackster7707]

The puzzle is 7x7 both ways its because of the way they were cut...the first shape lines up exactly but the second one doesn't line up perfectly like before taking away one of the squares

[Thebeastdrawer]

i noe wat ur supposed to do is take the l shaped peice and then u take the thre squared peices and switch them and walla full square!!!!!!!!!!

[mikenfl84]

My first guess was like the others ive seen that it was tilted or somthing but the answer below is correct i think

[mikenfl84]

The first square is 7x7 so =49 Pieces

The second shape is 8x6 so =48 Pieces

49-48=1 Missing piece

[Fave38]

Ok wow its not missing that shape above it in the wong way if you put it in the other way it will work

[amenslemirii]

the answer is: there are several small pieces of a squsre that participate in several squares, when moved the pieces are sitting outside the 7x7 square, but they are there, for example the left tip of the triangle gets covered by the down left square of the biggest piece. So in esence the small pieces are duplicated on several places and the missing square is there.

[CheeryChan1243]

It's because at the bottom the squares are slightly larger because of the diagonal tilt of the triangle piece :U

[paperdeathmachine]

@redhawkfan711 do you know how to count o_o?

its clearly 7x7 all the way o_o

[daxter7575]

the bottom triangle isn't a triangle

[chad2091324]

@redhawkfan711 genious! but he would be missing 15 pieces, not one...

[Axiss360]

0:21 look directly to the right of his left index finger. Then count the number of squares in the column. There's eight. Thumbs up for people to see, or if you already knew, then don't troll and say "that was obvious herp derp", because some people don't know.

[MrMrUm]

@Axiss360 yea it wasnt obvious cos there isnt

[Axiss360]

@MrMrUm Well it's actually 7.125, but that 0.125 matters

[mundaynathaniel]

its becuz the bottom triangular shaped piece is sloped and when he moved the left main piece up the slope and the right pieces down their sizes couldn't fill out the new area they were in

[MrRobotor]

he folded part of it back without looking duh

[JungleDisease93]

the puzzle didn't line up... on the bottom. if you look closely.

[samme135]

@JungleDisease93

i look so close so i can see the pixels 

[wayneo2011]

That was freaking AWESOME!?!?!?!??!

[MrRsmaster31]

i know what happened he moved the pieces

[james10cox]

both ways it is still 7 squares by 7 squares

[nickcorn93]

The reason is because the shape in the end is not a square but a rectangle. This is because the line coming down on the slanted side doesn't end on the corner of a square; it is actually 1/7th of the side of a square longer. If you calculate the length of this whole line, you see it is 5+1/7 units, and when you have moved the pieces, you get a 7 x (7+1/7) rectangle. The area is thus 35 + 1 units, exactly one unit larger than the original 7x7 square. This extra area is the empty square.

[334anoniem]

@nickcorn93 In other words, it's an optical illusion.

[amritpal99ss]

@nickcorn93 i dont no what that means but ill agree

[jonathanrealworld]

@nickcorn93 umm sure

[Starioshka]

@nickcorn93 Who the fuck thumbed up tis bullshit.

[otakudork90885]

@nickcorn93 ur a nerd

[AlizehlsCP]

@nickcorn93 i have no idea what you just said

[stearns1232]

i think u lost a piece

[AwesomexGirlx12343]

the waitress from "The missing dollar " stuck it up her bum.....

[Sirkillmenot82]

Some 'new squares' are actually not fitting together. Eg, the last column, 2nd square from the bottom is now in fact bigger than the normal square should be. Very obvious place to see this is the lower right square. There's a tiny triangle on the left piece of paper. This is actually a piece from the 4th square of the lower column. At start position, you can even see that a quite a bit is missing from this triangle to make it less obvious.

[honkute]

SOLUTION>>the original square is smaller than this one . Becouse this one is taller :)

[chad2091324]

@honkute that is not correct because this is infact taller, but it isn't an entire unit taller, and even if it was, we would be missing 6 more than just the one.

[nickxv7]

what it is is the way he moved the pieces mixed in with the slanted cut one. he moved each side 1/4 of a square outward and because of the piece cut on a slant it can still be arranged as a square

[imaCigamnam]

you got that from brussup

[gab3197]

because of the slanted cut the pieces are not all squares, making some be triangles

[misterboy500]

its the way the pieces are shaped

thumbs up if you agree!

[RKOEBVBIYN]

ITS A GHOST BALL!

[grontsly]

i think its at the top of 4,1

[mashal101sweet]

He just moved the stuff out and just basically made room

[kamilwit]

It;s simple -puzzle just stop being a square -that;s all .. the lines on the bottom triangle dont really match up with the rest

[yoyohayli]

@kamilwit Count the sqaures. They match up.

[yoyohayli]

@yoyohayli I should have clarified more; the whole shape is still a square, but you're right, they don't really seem to match up. The way the space was utilized changed a bit.

[joemomma824]

optimized area of a square rather than a rectangle, businessmen use this all the time... derivatives and such are used to prove it

[Morecowbellable]

Using the lined paper gave it away. Just look at the bottom triangle where the squares are.

[thewatzup10]

wth

[PivdsH4x0r]

it found NARNIA!

[19SOLANO04]

there is no missing square or shape it just shrunk just go 2 spaces to ur right and go all the way down



[BRANDONimasleep]

the bottom line is slanted making it shorter

[44Frechdax44]

not every square is perfekt some of them are bigger (bottom)

[bobthesolver]

singingbanana has an explanation video for this

[Evanisawesome54321]

just notice that the lines on the bottom triangle dont really match up with the rest and you can probably figure it out

[grungeboy90s]

the area of the squares have changed through the cut in lower side of the page

[Natefrost09]

The shapes where cut to form in the way u made them none other

[Noobsguy]

that diagonal line is the answer dude i got this at math at a pop quiz (as bonus question) so at the explanation it got al explained so my whole class was like wtf and lol so the diagonal line has a very little corner so u dont see that and thats the answer

[kayseagirl123]

the square got bigger and the way you shaped it just was different....

[bestplugins]

gone square is the mix of all pieces of partial squares missing in the diagonal paper.

[DCMusicKimchi]

the middle piecie is justin bieber's straightness

[bboysnack]

the paper was printed that way

[lopezrodrigo02]

well if u put half of a paper on half of a waffle u can see that the square is there just eating waffle :)

[teccomin]

The extra area went into grids on the diagonal..

[bloodblits1]

where can u print it 

[Color0fSoul]

He divided by zero

[orangeunicorn2009]

@Color0fSoul WHAT?

[kaak1212]

the square becomes a 7 1/7 units(height) by 7 units (width) rectangle and that having a greater highit makes the center square dissapear

[jizzo616]

@Majes7ik the "triangle" is not actually a triangle, it works like the more common "triangle missing block"

[DJfish101]

it gone scuba diving

[Crazyfoyd]

since the bottom piece is slanted when he moves the big piece an the right to the left he is taking it down the equivalent of 1 square

[haokimgian]

he flush it down the dam the toilet!!!!!!!

[jmbanaag98]

chuck norris can do it with all the squares are missing !

[BsVols19]

im 9 and i can do everything you do

[Crazycrackersandwich]

@BsVols19 same

[Cuppiecakes110]

chuck norris ate it

[mlrtmn]

where do i get it to b printable

[cyberdaemon]

@mlrtmn Just make one in paint office word or paint or something. Or use a paper, that already has squares on it, like some exercise books :P Or do it by hand, there is nothing complicated in that part. Then cut the pieces according to how you see in this video :P

[PurpleUkuleleGuy]

He starts with a square of 7x7, he ends with a rectangle, which is 7 by 7 and 1/7th. 1/7th x 7 = 1, that's where the extra square came from

[sgtfrogs]

look at the bottom row and you have your answer

[3nViLope]

the missing square is acutally added to the first 4 squares of the last (bottom) row...Just look at the last row and you see it looks pretty retard right?

[lemonzing234]

I checked, and it's a rectangle by 1 square

[deathschoice]

ITS LOGIC PEOPLE !!! The answer is not all the boxes are squared which explains where the missing one went and why he just made a rectangle :)

[cardmagician123]

where can i print this off?

[bierbuik]

@cardmagician123 in your ass

[Theganesh55]

not so difficult..., actually all the squares along the inclined line after rearranging get increased in their height direction ... lol

[mrdarkfire225]

he ate it

[joytashful1]

it extended(got bigger)and the square is still there it just is not in the middle

[zdzichu42]

Right side... 2nd row from below... 3 not-so-squary things down there.

[ROBOT5835]

see the triangle at the bottom the top line is not straight th square is hiddin in the leftovers

[THEJORDANM360]

when its done it becomes a rectangle not a square LOL singingbanana did something on this vid :P

[cyclonejones10]

first of all u guys below me...........keep it simple there is no missing piece it is how the pieces are re arranged

[ninjacow42]

you need a website

[POKEMON493MASTER]

you put one picece over another

[silyanina]

that aint a square

[STKhero]

it is hiding in the sunken city of Atlantis

[irishjamesbonds]

@STKhero no u retard its in the open down there

[bierbuik]

It's in my ass.

[justandy333]

simple, its using the angles of the triangle to fool you.

at the start there is exactly 7x7 squares, right?

At the end the bottom 2 rows seem (sorry ARE) stretched.

So it now looks like 7 x 7.3 roughly.

That would of been much much harder to spot if there wasn't a grid.

Nice vid though

[Zanethic]

its simple math. if you try to find the angles of the slope on the triangle and on the bigger pieces with a sloped edge, you'll find that they are not equal (although they look the same due to the angles being very close in numerical value to each other). This difference in slope angles create slivers of empty spaces in between the initial fitting, and these empty spaces add up to exactly one empty square you see in the end.

[devilsnevercry322]

easy l peice has to exchange with line peice under it

[bhabycute27]

nice one

[XguineapigXRAWR]

the square got bigger look carefully

[bekirah]

how the hell does it dissapear xD? 3 years ago a math teacher was about to hand out 10 points to who ever solves that out haha ut i didn;t :'c

[dominicanprb]

TUTORIAL PLEASE

[DaMirrorLink]

look closely, the triangle doesnt match up

[ll3g081]

the area of the paper is 48.5 unit, thats it. the secret is the bottom triangles at the beginning, its 3+3/2 + 4/2 + 7=13.5 so the overall area is 48.5 and after the rearange, its 49.5 including the whole.

[nitendo9]

i don't understand!!! It's 7 x 7 at the start, and at the end, but nothing gets covered, it's against the laws of physics!!! It's... It's... IT'S MAGIC!!!

[SealFormulaMaster]

The missing square got adopted.

[Romaa777]

¿sıɥʇ puıɟ uɐɔ ı ǝɹǝɥʍ ǝʇısqǝʍ ǝɥʇ sı ʇɐɥʍ

[imamsodangkool]

how the fuck is it a hck, get of f yur ass and do it and yull see it really does work

[LGmastermind9]

it went away

[game1boy1007]

hax

[Zeppo3]

Your actually Transforming it into a very slight rectangle =P awesome trick

[greendragon448]

dude, its not a rectangle its still a square,,

[spagbol30]

i tired it i does work so autobowl TINK AGAIN

[qMaddixp]

WTF=!=

[JackyCenTV]

he did not use computer to take it out! look at video carefully and u will c that a square is covered

[TheVidioStupid]

you haked

[annellfillinger]

cool

[fredrocks222]

the sides are one seventh of an inch longer, on each side, that extra paper together makes one square, since the extra paper is on the sides, a missing square is in the middle

[oHKCOLEo]

@fredrocks222 you surr are a genius :p

[autobowl]

By carefully looking at the second to bottom and bottom, where the line was cut, the second shape was not correct so it was just gone, but actually it looks like it has a tiny box compared to everything else

[nirvray]

The angle cut is not align as in beginning anymore after you rearrange it. Fools will get cheated only

[eddyazuan]

I GOT IT!

[BananaCat101]

When he flips the paper around it's not a square it's a rectangle.

[garvito101]

@BananaCat101  True. Diff dimensions.

[dudey7ftw]

In the beggining the biggest piece has a corner that would align the 4x3 and the 2nd biggest piece to form an empty square in the middle. If you looked its kind of hard to explain

[deadlybug]

give me a break, its damn obvious these piece don't fit, neither way.

[jeanseb9081]

missing square not really , after the remix there is no more square but 6 rectangle , 3 down left and 3 on right side .

[Ramboost007]

its really like that there is no mathematical nor logical solution to that puzzle. He didn't hide,change anything or edit the video. Promise. Swear. Really he didn't

[Kowwabunga]

Does the triangle's really a triangle? Normaly tricks like this are done by triangle having it's longest.. arm(?) a bit curved - if the curve is not to bended - we can't see it and it covers the missing space.

[grantrick1]

@Kowwabunga Nice spelling and grammar.

[CrescentStarSkater]

its the way the puzzle pieces are aligned

[loonykid100]

i tried it i coodnt figure it out =[

[helpas345]

lmao watch it really close and see how there cut.... youle figure it out like i did on the first try :D

[martin9172]

one piece got covered up in the diagonally cutted part of the square.

[entoris476]

@martin9172

nope lol

[sparkster8]

very impressive aha

[xblackenedmetallicax]

omg where's the middle square?

[sgtforge21]

go to singingbanana's channel.

[SlayerDecc]

wow

[ISLAVEFORHARUHI]

the figures does not much perfectly in several places, that way u get the missing square

[oxxRedCherryxxo]

you've put the piece with tree squares before you'Ve put the L piece so that why you've got one mission piece

[david2000magic]

the paper is cut in such a way that if you rearange the peaces it will make one square dissapear

[HashBrowie]

@david2000magic no shit

[devilsnevercry322]

@david2000magic it doesn't dissapear you just have to change the l shaped one and the one under it

[mlbrack0928]

@pspgoescool ..so people that get confused by an eye ilusion dont do stuff with their life? sorry..u lost me there..*goes and quits full time job to find a better one*

[wafle14]

the bottom right corner, those six squares have picked up the slack from the middle square and if you evened it out you'd get the middle piece, it's math.

[TheMagicMan0705]

cool

[awlsome111]

it's one square higher and thicker

[Fabiolol2]

no its not! count them :)

[mobyguy77]

Its Not, Div

[SaiiKOsThoughts]

then you'd need more squares, right ?

[AlexanderChaseIII]

look at the bottom four squares on the left hand side at 0:40 do they look taller to you?

[drillskill]

nothing happened he just moved it

[mattiassollerman]

he ate the square ofc

[56SuperMan]

that is cool

[jrodriguez2357]

TO MUCH, WORDS!!!

[TheMagical9]

too long answers!!

[xerokine]

it starts off 7x7, it ends 7x7 with an empty square in the middle. Logically, he has the same amount of white space as before because he hasn't removed any, but why is there a hole in the middle and it's still 7x7? look at the first 4 squares on the bottome row and the last 3 squares on the second to last row, they all have a little bit more area than before, that's where the missing square went. :)

[eshtebala]

@xerokine

Thanks man, thats one more mystery solved for me.
