This video showcases the presentation and effect of a simple yet confusing puzzle. It incorporates basic geometry, but it is surprising and potentially baffling at first glance. A step-by-step tutorial on how to make one can be found at Instructables. Link

Watch the outer lines- they are very thin in the first version (partially covered up) and then wider when the pieces have been rotated. The extra area in the center comes from those margins.

The square it slightly smaller when it is missing the hole. The area is the same in both cases. You can tell it gets smaller at the end.

It didn't get my first name, just a variation of it on the 5th try. It took 3 tries for my middle name. My mom made sure to give me a name that has been butchered verbally and in writing my whole life. (And got me assigned to the boys locker room!) I have family on both sides (mom, dad, aunts, uncles, and cousins that have same names so we have to say first and middle name or variations of their name to differentiate who we are talking about.
