The missing square puzzle - not featured[edit]
Info This is a simpler variation of the missing square paradox, popularized by Sam Loyd and Martin Gardner. I made this puzzle more than twenty years ago (in wood) and haven’t found till now any written reference to it. However, and because its principle is quite simple, I believe it might be hidden is some 19th century puzzle book. The aim of this animation is to deceive and puzzle the reader, not to explain the apparent paradox. That way, maybe he/her will become interested in the full explanation. Animation created, uoloaded and nominated by Joaquim Alves Gaspar

- Oppose I don't like the wide border and the illustration doesn't point out that the perimeter of the big square changes during the process. norro 18:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
