  1. Yeah, I noticed a lot of smart aleck's in the comments boasting. This one had me stumped.

  2. Well, if you were able to solve it even in a "dumb" way, you deserve a medal. I gave up after a very long time of getting nowhere.

  3. I found it to be too fast and had to repeat parts of it.

  4. Comments full of silly claims about how easy this is... it's not easy.

  5. ​@Lynn-u7l Why? I still don't get it? Why would you assume that when we don't know the actual size of the rectangle? This must be some kind of advanced geometry. I never encountered anything like this, and I even have a degree in mathematics, albeit from 30 years ago. And a degree in computer science (A average). Not trying to boast. I'm clearly clueless now.

  6. It's always advisable to include extra steps when teaching. A lot of this stuff is not obvious, and not only for beginners.

  7. How would you know that? Is it common knowledge?

  8. Stop lying. There is no way it's that easy. Even my mathematics degree knowledge from a few decades ago hasn't helped. There is insufficient information to calculate the proportion due to the red area.

  9. ​@jameslechner4233 Why would it? There's a whole lot of things not making any sense with this puzzle.

  10. How?

  11. You must have a super brain? Actually, I dont believe you. I've been staring at the thumbnail for 30 mins and still no clue. There is absolutely no way this can be solved in 10 seconds.

  12. Then there would be no point in creating this video. Just post up the answer at the 10 second mark. No. This is a teaching exercise, right?

  13. Why?
