TED-Ed: Can you solve the Alice in Wonderland riddle? | Alex Gendler

Alice finds herself in the Queen of Hearts' court, where she overhears a puzzling argument about numbers. The Queen claims 64 is the same as 65, using a deceptive chessboard trick. Alice uses her geometry knowledge to uncover the trick, revealing a gap between shapes. The video explores Fibonacci numbers and their properties, showing how they can create deceptive slopes. The Queen's trick is based on these mathematical principles, but Alice's understanding helps her see through the illusion.
