This comic is pretty good. It lacks birds though.

I still don't understand how turning the square helps you.

Because a square within another square diagonally like that means the bigger one is twice as large. Just imagine two of the triangles of the corners of the larger square coming in and forming a second square on top of the tinier one.

What I did to solve it before seeing what the answer was: moved the center square to the corner. "Oh, it fits nicely in that corner and takes up only 1/4th of the entire large square, I guess the large one is 4 times bigger."

This next thing will make me look like a humongous jackass forever...
I have noticed that the smarter people get the more they overlook simple things or just never learn the simple things, whereas people as dumb as a stump could easily point at something, make a statement, and solve a problem while poindexters are still trying to solve theories about the problem. (I am sorry for that statement and did not mean to insult you Katie!)

The day that I play a video game requiring me to do upper-level math is the day I seriously question the direction in which my life is going.

The second panel reminds me of that Rhythm Heaven: Fever fishing game. It has caused me to imagine her using the touch-screen from that position with her tongue.

I don't know if you've actually played the newest one, but there is some legit mathematical questions there worth 50 picarats... 50 PICARATS!

Then they slap you with a 20 picarat that looks complicated! The secret is in the worth!

The more you know!

This reminds me strongly of when I applied my university level graph theory to help Luke figure out whether or not I could draw a house with only one line.

Down, right, up, diagonally up-left, diagonally down-left, right.

I always get those questions wrong because I spend too much time wondering which of the 2 blue squares they're referring to...
