The text is too small/blurry to read, but it seems to say something is "not to scale" at the bottom... isn't the whole point for it to be to scale?

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is shown in the northern hemisphere when it should be in the southern hemisphere.

Liszt and Whitey think there's an error but when they tell everybody what the error is it will turn out that the only error is they don't understand the chart.

Don't see a flaw. There might be a flaw in the text but most of it is too small to read.

It says it shows a list of planets and dwarf planets, yet it shows the Earth's moon which is neither.

The sun shouldn't have a shadow under it. It's the fucking sun, for fuck's sakes.

If showing the moon is the answer then these two need to be banned from this site.

Only after I get my cookie, though.

CashRules · Post by **CashRules** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 2:56 am

It's missing one known dwarf planet, Makemake, but the chart was probably made before Makemake was discovered. The relative size of the objects in the middle is correct, the relative size of the objects on the left is correct, the relative size of the objects on the right is correct. Liszt and Whitey missed the fact that the left side is increased 24x while the right size is only increased 4x so the two sides aren't supposed to be compared.

Derived Absurdity · Post by **Derived Absurdity** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:02 am

It seems to me that the ones on the right are quite a bit bigger than 4x the ones in the middle, though. Like, that Jupiter is not four times bigger than that other Jupiter.

CashRules · Post by **CashRules** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:05 am

It looks correct to me, it should be 4x both horizontally and vertically and it looks right.

Derived Absurdity · Post by **Derived Absurdity** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:15 am

Nevermind, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was thinking, like, volume and stuff. The shadows are throwing me off.

CashRules · Post by **CashRules** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:18 am

Yeah, I'm still going with somebody missed the 24x for the left and 4x for the right. Then I'm going to make fun of them for a year or two.

Derived Absurdity · Post by **Derived Absurdity** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:20 am

Although actually since the actual planets are three-dimensional the ratios should be measured in volume and not length/width. It used the wrong scales. There, I just found another flaw. I think.

Derived Absurdity · Post by **Derived Absurdity** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:25 am

I mean diameter, not length/width.

I think I'm being dumb. I don't remember geometry crap.

Bruce already got it

CashRules · Post by **CashRules** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:14 am

Um, Gendo, we need some rules for banning people.

Whitey · Post by **Whitey** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:37 am

You're right. I think we should ban the pig farmer. What use is a pig farmer on the board if we aren't getting any free bacon?

I have to concur.

A shadow on a picture? They might have well said all the shadows are errors because there's no explanation for a planet to be casting a shadow into the open space directly at its geographic south pole. They would have been better off if I had been right and they missed the 24x and 4x and then said "Um guys, earth isn't bigger than Neptune and Uranus." This is what we get for having too many foreigners on this board.

Post by **Gendo** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 7:48 pm

I still want to know what it says at the bottom about something being not to scale.

Dude, that's why this "riddle" or whatever is funny. Because it's dumb. So you look at it and look at it and waste your time with it until someone says "shadow man". It's good trolling.

Ok, but both of my flaws are actual flaws. You can say whatever you want. I won this thread. Twice.
