Impossible Triangle

 Here I thought I know a lot about math, geometry, patterns, numbers .... till my little son yesterday told me he wants to draw and Impossible Triangle! "What is that?", I ask.  "A triangle that you can draw but cannot exist in real world! It is an illusion." he says.  Wow, and I looked it up and it is exactly that!  I have learned many many things every day since becoming a mother that I could not keep up with in this blog, as the long pauses suggest, but never thought a triangle would be one of them!  The Impossible Triangle is also called a Penrose Triangle*.
