Hi, Some time ago I saw here ascii pictures of the impossible triangle (originally created by Escher). Has anyone saved these pictures and can send them by email or post them again?? Thanks, Uli Bauer

If you did I'm glad I could help but I must say that this triangle was'nt created by Escher.

To learn more about Roger Penrose:
http://rysy.msm.cam.ac.uk/~msms/penrose.html
a sample from this page:
- Roger and his father are the creators of the famous Penrose staircase
and the impossible triangle known as the tribar.
Both of these impossible figures were used in the work of Dutch graphic
artist Maurits Cornelis Escher to create structures such as a waterfall
where the water appears to flow uphill and a building with an impossible
staircase which rises or falls endlessly yet returns to the same level.

( He done more tricks like these, the window below aswell ) Who the H... is Roger Penrose? Has he done more stuff like this? (Send me some ISBN of a book that contains his work...thanks!)
