Welcome to this week’s Math Munch!
The Penrose Triangle is an “impossible figure” – or so claim many reputable mathematics sources. It’s a triangle made of square beams that all meet a right angles – which does sound pretty impossible. Penrose polygons features in some of M. C. Escher’s most confounding artwork, like this picture:
But, little do these mathematicians know… you can build your own Penrose Triangle out of paper! Check out these instructions and confound your friends.

Mathematicians also seem pretty sure that .99999999…. = 1. Well, trust Vi Hart to show them what’s-what. Here’s a video in which she tells us all that, in fact, .99999999999… is NOT 1.
Finally, did you know that 13×7=28? Well, it does. And here’s the proof:
Bon appetit! Oh – and April Fools!

hahaha… that’s impossible
M.C. Escher uses the penrose triangle and other variants of the same idea in his artwork to make it unique, but what i dont understand is how it was formed and if it actually is just a basic triangle with some extra lines on it.
