The Vanishing Leprechaun Created by Pat Lyons

If you cut out this image on the black lines and rearrange it, you get an extra leprechaun. Where does he come from? Since it's your lucky day, you don't have to cut and paste. Just click on the picture. Unbelievable, huh?

Click here to show an explanation. If you rearrange the pieces, you cut off a little piece of every leprechaun to make an extra one. Every leprechaun becomes a littlebit smaller.

I think your explanation is not quite right. The extra leprechaun does not appear because of little pieces of every leprechaun. In the picture of 15 leprechauns, if you divide the picture in 2 parts, upper part and the lower part, you'll see that ALMOST every leprechaun has upper part body and lower part body. But 2 leprechauns has only 1 part. Th 6th from the right only has lower part and the 13th from the right only has upper part. When you rearrange the picture, EVERY leprechaun will have up

Martadi is correct that two leprechauns are only in the top or bottom sections, but they are not the only ones to lose some height. The height those two lost does not add up to a whole leprechaun. ALL the leprechauns lost a bit, and all those lost bits add up to the "extra" one.
