11. Can't do the math of the slopes
Since the slopes aren't straight.

I guess one could use calculus, but not just geometry, unless you carved the triangles into itty bitty vertical slices. Then you would find two different areas.

So there. :-)

17. And that's the problem - the slopes aren't straight
at least, not with each other.

6. That's so goddamned easy that if a magician tried it in real life,
people would throw knives at him and tear his head off.

10. A magician wouldn't let you look at the cards
for very long after the trick was over.

13. Ayyye.

An oldie but a goodie. Almost as old as the mindreading crystal ball.
