Okay, my last one was too easy. Now it's harder: This shape, is 2 squares that has sides that are "a" and "b" long, combined. The blue line in the picture is to see where the borders were, so you can use it as a drawn line. Now, here is the question. Divide the shape in the picture in half with only a straight line. Except: You have only a ruler with no lines, and a pencil. You are only allowed to draw lines on the shape. The line also has to be drawn through a point where the place is clear. (In other words, you have to find where the point is by drawing lines to use it.) Have fun!  (Edit I forgot to say "divide it in half."

| I assume you mean to divide the shape so that both halves have an equal area. I believe this should work: -Label the points 1-7:  -Draw lines connecting points 1&3, 2&4, 5&7, and 3&6. -Label the resulting new points 8 and 9:  -Draw a line through points 8 and 9 from the left side of square A to the right side of square B:  (edited by NSNick, Rogue Jedi on 05-25-05 04:06 AM) (edited by NSNick, Rogue Jedi on 05-25-05 04:11 AM) (edited by NSNick, Rogue Jedi on 05-25-05 04:11 AM) |

 WOAH!That's right! You're so good at this. I'll return if I find a very good one. |
