why the hole ? a good trader must find the solution in two minutes..........and he doesn' t need calculations of any sort

joking....you can take what you want if you like. I took a couple of minutes, but no one of my friends gave me the solution......in effect...they are not traders

To complicated lol!  I keep it very simple as I've been watching the tape on the market since I was about 13.  All I use for my day trading is simple stochastics, think I do ok with it lol!!  If I'm trend trading I just go by the tape.  Been having fun day trading this year cause just selling option premium is kinda boring lol!!

it's not complicated.......it's just based on a single intuition, not a long analytical process, but a single intuition. If two figures are made by the same parts they must have the same area. If they look like triangles and one has a hole while the other one hasn' t suggesting they have different areas, it means they are not triangles. Those two figures have four sides not three, although the ''hypotenuse'' seems to be rectilinear. Illusion, it's not rectilinear......

A knowledge of Pythagoras's Theorem is all that's required to know it's wrong.
