- Support I've certainly been shown this in a school maths class before. The raw svg rendering seems a
bit dodgy in chrome unfortunately though. All rendered pngs look fine, and it looks fine at some sizes though, so I can't comment as to the cause and don't think its the file.

- That is strange, it looks fine in IE and firefox, I'll double check with chrome when I get home...

- Looks fine in my Chrome. However, if I zoom the page, the image starts looking like the screen capture mentioned above. I also ran it through the
W3C validator and it validates just fine. I zoomed a few other SVG images and they appeared to scale just fine. I don't know enough about SVG best practices to determine if something can be done differently in this image to prevent such a glitch.

- Support, specifically the for png renders at the moment. FF7 on Debian here ( for shame!); the SVG is not rendering perfectly -- the grid is misaligned with the pieces. EnkiduEnkita ( talk) 01:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

- Support Same as the above - I'd seen this before yet still felt compelled to click through to the article. Nik the stoned 08:34, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Support Had fun finding the solution. What a wonderful "game". Anyway, the thing is, this is pretty well done, and has EV, and presents in a very clear way the whole point. - Paolo Costa 20:23, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
