docoflove1974 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Oh good, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who didn't see it. Then again, I was always the one that could never see the hidden picture in those dot prints that you have to unfocus your eyes. Of course, I looked at it last night after teaching, so my focus is never quite that sharp Link to comment
GhostOfClayton 25 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share To extrapolate further, in the example shown, not only is the lower angle 'Angle A' (as shown), but the right angle is 'Angle B'. Doc would be forgiven for not seeing it. Not so, Melvadius. Link to comment
Melvadius 4 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share If you are trying to make the point that an upside down right angle triangle could 'very roughly' be drawn to fit inside the easternmost extremities of Wales I could see your reasoning. But in that case surely 'Angle A' should instead be in Anglesey or are you trying to 'pun it' as 'Angle-C'?? Link to comment
caldrail 156 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Noooo... Still struggling to see anything... Is this one of this 'magic picture' things that plays tricks with the senses? Or is it a mystuical ley line for conducting earth energies to the spiritual home of the druids? Or is it a secret wartime chart for bombers on a daring mission to crush welsh morale with a heavyweight straegic bombing offensive? Or is it a secret road for those drivers privileged enough to be exempt from speed cameras? Or has Pythagoras been revealed as a welshman? Link to comment
GhostOfClayton 25 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Well done, Melvadius. I was indeed punning it as Angle-C. It tickled me at the time, but I accept that it lost something along the way. Link to comment

GhostOfClayton 25 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share I suppose I'd better explain (though Lord knows I really didn't want to!) The large island at the North Western tip of Wales is called Anglesey (pronounced Angle-C). I hoped that anyone living in the UK would see 'Angle-A' extrapolate straight away and realise it was a pun on Anglesey/Angle-C). Overseas readers can be forgiven not knowing about Anglesey, in the same way that few UK readers would be able to point to Long Island on an unmarked map. Apologies for this very weak attempt at humour. Needless to say, the whole scenario played out hilariously in my head before the event. Link to comment
cinzia8 3 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share I was thinking along the lines of Caldrail as well. LOL After all, I am a yank, but like Docoflove, my eyes tend to get all wobbly on the dot prints, too. Or my favorite is the hag and the lady. <g> Link to comment
GhostOfClayton 25 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share I love those dotty 'magic eye' things. The first time I saw one, I was completely blown away. Link to comment
caldrail 156 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share .... I haven't the slightest idea what is going on .... Neither do the english. Wales is that sort of country I guess. Link to comment
