The diagonals of the blue shape and the green shape (and likewise of the red and the orange) in the 5 x 13 figure look like they match up, but they actually don't. There's a narrow gap between them, too narrow to see easily, but when it's added up over

There is an area equal to one whole block missing smack dab in the middle of the diagonal "line." It is especially clear when they show the two blocks next to eachother.

The slope of the lines are 3/8 and 2/5 so they don't line up perfectly, leaving a thin gap which is hidden by the outlines.

Different dimentions. 8x8 as a whole square grid would produce 64. It's different when you separate them into pieces, since you get different results, depending on the way you cut the grid into pieces. More like logic, if you think about it. ;)

Awesome find, I give it five stars, but unfortuantely, there is an explanation. *sigh* Anyway, the slope of the diagonal line of the triangle and the diagonal line of the trapezoid aren't the same, they are slightly off. When you put the two triangles and trapezoids back together for the rectangle, the diagonal line is in fact not a line at all, but a paralellogram with an area of 1. I'm surprised no one explained this yet.
