1st one was funny! I was laughing out loud! 2nd one, the 2 triangles (red and blue-green) are not similar triangles, so the segments AB and DE are not straight. You can see this if you compare where the hypotenuse intersects the background grid. So the "triangles" ABC and DEF are not really triangles at all.

You can see this if you compare where the hypotenuse intersects the background grid. So the "triangles" ABC and DEF are not really triangles at all. hmm... looks like it. my theory: the length of the green triangle is only 5 grids while the red one is 8 grids. but the thing is, the length of ABC is 13 grids. the orange hexagon has only 2 grid bottom. so if you add the green orange and light green, it would only produce 12 grid length, but that is enough to satisfy the height of both triangles which is 5 grids. now, what makes orange and Lgreen not fit? it's because light green has only 2 grids excess and orange has 3 grids excess, they can't form a solid rectangle because they don't much. disclaimer: i wasn't thinking clearly, if you don't understand what i meant... i wasn't thinking clearly. hehehe
