June 19, 2010: Table Test

xoxoxoBruce · 06-18-2010, 11:16 PM

Simple test, which table is bigger?

Do you think the green table looks bigger?

Do you think the red table looks bigger?

A yes answer to either question gets a honk, from Beulah the buzzer.

They are the same size.

More here.

No matter what, it's always eight inches.

Of course it is.

The green one is bigger. It can seat 6 people; the red one can only seat 4.

Is Zen aware of this?

I counted the markings on the rug pattern, and came up with a larger surface area for the red table. I have no ruler, so in my universe, the red one is larger.

2.60 in 202

...and now I'm bored and my eyes are spining. Great game for the kids, though

I think they are not the same size. They may take up the same area/amount of space, but one is longer than the other, one is wider than the other. That's two (2) different sizes.

Nevermind.
