There are 12 people BOTH times….the second picture once their bodies are cut and replaced- there is a dude on the left end that’s missing part of his head, so he don’t count as 13.
12? or 13? DAMN IT I dont know which
I’m gonna spend to much time thinking about this!!!
i like that puzzle, but Holla was too quick to spot the method behind it. One of my all time favorites (and you can post it on the front page if you like it enough Jonco) is this puzzle I ran across in OMNI Magazine, way back in 1981. The cool thing about it is you can get a page of graph paper and draw one yourself, to delight and mistify your friends.
If you count the squares in the square box it has 64 and the rectangle has 63, yet the shapes inside are exactly the same
or so it seems.
13..?
I figured it out, i had to draw it up and cut the pieces.
every single body gets cut in half. weather it be at the waist head or feet.
its all together with no tricks when the group looks like 3,2,2,3,2. when it shifts to 3,3,2,3,2 the far left person is missing the top of his head thus he is incomplete and not one. he is half of one person. where is the other missing half? when its in the position where the man is missing the top of his head the 6th person in is missing his feet (its small but that means he in not whole.
the count always remains at 12, it just that 2 people get broken in very small ways.
I love riddles, and this thing was serioulsy messing with my head!
