The dice appear to form an impossible triangle. Your eyes and brain are fooled because they
assume that all of the corners of the triangle are touching one another. In reality, the
photograph has been taken from a very specific angle. If the position of the camera was to
shift slightly, you would see that in reality the 'triangle' is actually created by three
lines of dice arranged in the shape of the letter 'Z'. As such, one of the 'corners' in the
photograph actually consists of two ends that are a very long way apart. This idea is based
on a drawing of an impossible triangle originally created by physicist Roger Penrose in 1954.
