can you show it diagrammatically is the block square with side L or is it a plank of length L?
putting a plank of lenght L at the corner of square implies that the corner side is L/sqrt(2) and the perpendicular falling onto this diagnal plank would eat up (sqrt(3)/sqrt(2))L so left over (ABCD is inner rectangle, and DEFG is outer than i am trying to connect AD which is sqrt(2)L is (sqrt(2)L-sqrt(3)/sqrt(2))L >0 yes, so i would need essentially minimum 2 planks. | |_ |\/ |_\_ Best Regards Ashish Goel "Think positive and find fuel in failure" +919985813081 +919966006652 On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 12:08 AM, Snoopy Me <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice way to put it erappy, here is another way. > > A block of length L can be place at the corner of the outer square > such that it makes a triangle so that two sides of the triangle is the > corner sides of the square and the base of the triangle is the block. > Now, on this block another block can be placed to reach the corner of > the inner square. > > > > > > On Jul 19, 10:08 am, erappy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Use the block of size L, use the diagonal of the block (diagonal would be > > definitely > L ) to fit in between two square islands. > > > > Thanks, > > > > On Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 11:38 PM, amit <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Puzzle, A square Island surrounded by bigger square, and in between > > > there is infinite depth water.
