Any math smarties know how this trick works? Seems like the pieces shouldn`t fit.

I also can`t believe people don`t remember this stuff from high school geometry class. (over 10 years for me, and I remember it... and I was the biggest pothead in my school) Allow me to REPOST my earlier explanation. The white square is evidence that the entire square is imperfect, so that when the pieces are cut at angles and rearranged, the imbalance in the sides of the square are evident as "negative space" in the final result... The right side of the square is slightly shorter than the left side, and the top is slightly shorter than the bottom. This difference could add up to a mere 1 sq cm, which is hard to really notice when looking at the larger picture, but when the pieces are cut and rearranged, the 1 sq cm is what is left in the center... Didn`t anyone ever watch Mr Wizard? I seem to remember him doing an example of this in a
