Believe it or not, there are shapes for which this isn’t possible, like most letters of the Latin alphabet
I’m confused
Surely if you can make something smaller, you could make it fit inside anything bigger than it?
Or do I not have the assumptions down?
Do the lines count as “borders”?
So Like Q,R,O,A etc. have “holes” but Z, X, I, L etc are just lines with no enclosure
That would make sense
I thought maybe the rules were if you spray paint a huge L on the wall you could draw a little L on it with chalk when it dries
Sorry , just thinking out loud
Assuming we shrink all spacial dimensions equally: With Z, the diagonal will also shrink so that the two horizontal lines would be closer together and then you could not fit them into the original horizontal lines anymore. Only once you shrink the Z far enough that it would fit within the line-width could you fit it into itself again. X I and L all work at any arbitrary amount of shrinking though.
T, V, Y can be shrunk by any amount and still fit aswell! Possibly even K depending on the font.
TIL that the shape of Africa looks like Africa
Here’s another fact for you:
ɐɔᴉɹɟ∀ is the same as Africa but upside down and backwards
Look man, I’m just quoting something I read online.
If you’re such a skeptic, why don’t you check my source???
Another fun fact: the pictured orientation of that smaller version of Africa is the only one that you can use to produce that picture.
depending on how much leeway you have no? you’d turn it a few degrees as long as you have enough space to
Please spread the word, and together we can stop this!
Africa is Australia turned 45 degrees clockwise
except on the southern hemisphere where it is counterclockwise because of the Coriolis force
