[QUOTE=Fiona]What is the problem we are supposed to see with the puzzle? I don't understand what the question is. Sorry if I am being dense[/QUOTE]

Where the gap comes from.

well it comes from swapping the green and red triangles, doesn't it?

No, because the big triangle is the same size, except for the wee white square...

Fiona has the right answer. The fact is they want to make you think that the upper figure as a whole is a triangle, but it isn't (and neither would be the lower one if the gap was filled). The long sides of the two triangles are not parallel, the green one is steeper than the red one (2 over 5 compared to 3 over 8). Thus the long side of the first figure bulges slightly inward and the lower figure slightly outward, hence the gap.

I was trying to visit Masa's link but work won't let me.

Wow, that didn't sound quite so convoluted in my mind.
