Fox 306 - Solution

To see the animation below, you will need any of the following browsers:
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or IE Explorer 9.0.

Bleaug converts Fox 306 to Fox 302 by "folding" twice. I have seen translation, rotation, similarity, etc., but haven't seen anything like this before. Enjoy and please do respect to human intelligence!

Fox 261

The claim below makes some information in Fox 252 redundant. This is an intriguing construction! We can easily post half a dozen more good foxes. Keep ckeckin' !!
Also there are at least 3 purely-geometric solutions...

Fox 252

All along the wall, between us
I see a teacher, there for us
I look at the wall, I see right through it
I lean on the wall, there for us

Fox 243 - Solution

Bleaug claims the following:
Almost a pure geometric proof this time (only requires Pythagorean theorem).
- TIJ is the section of the pyramid by a plane orthogonal to base and parallel to BC and AD
- by construction, TI is orthogonal to AB, and TJ to CD
- hence: AT^2-BT^2 = AI^2+IT^2-BI^2-IT^2 = AI^2-BI^2, similarly DT^2-CT^2 = DJ^2-CJ^2
- since AIB is a translation of DJC: AT^2-BT^2 = DT^2-CT^2
- from which we get DT^2 = AT^2-BT^2+CT^2 = 9-2+1 = 8

Fox 244


Look into thy heart, and see,
it desireth to fly in Heavens,
whilst there are knots pulling thee
to cruelly darketh corners!
