Two query lines are on the page. One looks longer. Look once, make a choice, and then look again.
I have spent years looking at execution plans. The lines, boxes and arrows can make an expensive operation look important before I have read a single number. That is useful when the picture points me to a place worth investigating. It is less useful when I start treating the size of a drawing as evidence.
For today's Sunday puzzle, look at the two dark horizontal lines in the picture. The upper one sits near the narrow end of a server aisle. The lower one sits near the wide end. Do not measure them yet. Which line looks longer to you? If someone else is nearby, ask them before you scroll. It is more fun when two people are confidently wrong in different directions.
The illustration was drawn to a fixed grid. There is no animation and nothing changes when you look away. Give your eyes five seconds, then read the answer.

I honestly don’t know how to react.
So many of you have bought my AI Interview Questions book, and quite a few have even asked me to send them the PDF so they can share it freely with friends.
Part of me smiles at that. Part of me doesn’t know what to say. 😊
But I do want to say this:
This is not just another AI book I put together quickly.
I spent a lot of time, thought, research, rewriting, and effort on it. I genuinely tried to create something useful, practical, and worth your time.
So seeing people interested in it, buying it, talking about it, and wanting to share it means more to me than I can properly express.
Thank you for all the love. ❤️

@RX280_724@MiguelAngelBris Para mí cuando sacaron a Jeremy se perdió mucho ataque por la derecha y la sorpresa cuando corre hacia en medio, ahí mozo solo corre por la banda derecha pero no género sorpresas
Lo de Charly desde mi punto de vista no, muy por de debajo del nivel que mostro en la liguilla
