What Dreams?
Where Three Dreams Cross: 150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is the current exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery . It claims to depict 150 years of photography from the subcontinent, of its people by its people.

The 5x13 diagram is fraudulent. Blue and Red (or Green and Orange) do not a true triangle make - ie BlueRed is not mathematically similar to Red. Proof by trig if you're bothered, or alternatively just compare the ratios of the relevant triangle sides (2/5 vs 3/8).
The areas of each respective shape do still add up to 64 of course, the extra bit comes from a sliver of area along the opposite corners - you can see it most by looking at the bit between Red and Green.
All credit goes to Johnny Ball by the way. He was (and still is) my hero. In fact I don't think I'd have been a mathematician if it wasn't for him.
Another one? 2=1
They should make Johnny Ball required reading you know.
Simon Singh is my idol, indeed. He should teach maths(/physics/science) to Britain I say, y'know. Forget training teachers, put Singh up on a large screen and he will solve Britain's maths problem.
:P
night.
Engineer: 64=65? 2% error, who cares.
