 Ideas: Continuing the discussion about number of downsloping short lines in the rectangle, it is interesting to add these in the two texts.
Is it a coincidence that both these sums are square numbers? Furthermore: If we - in H - bend the week in the middle smoothly, letting the bend include not only Wednesday but also Tuesday and Thursday, then we can find the famous Pythagorean numbers 32 + 42 = 52. Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday gives 9 and Sunday + Monday + Friday + Saturday gives 16. From various reasons I believe we should regard the week as folded in the middle. |
