Your body still has the downward momentum so you will get owned after you jump still anyways

just because you're in the elevator doesn't mean that you're not gaining the momentum that the elevator is gaining, you will still hit the ground hard.

About that image:

The chart is only to be in that one way, it isn't supposed to be rearranged. That, and the yellow block is supposed to be on top of the green one. Nowhere else.

there isn't anything that states that it is "Only to be in that one way." or "isn't supposed to be rearranged." They would still have the same combined area rearranged or not... i'm trying to find where they cut out the area.

The slope of the hypotenuses of the triangles are different so when rearranged you will get a different result.

In fact, the large "triangle" you see is actually a quadrilateral.

Inertia. Like if you jump off a car moving at 60 MPH, you'll get owned when you hit the pavement, lol.

But what did such a Teuton afterwards look like when he had been "improved" and led into a monastery? Like a caricature of a human being, like an abortion: he had become a "sinner," he was in a cage, one had imprisoned him behind nothing but sheer terrifying concepts... There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy. In short, a "Christian"... - Twighlight of the Idols

It has 7 sides :S
