abstract：:By analyzing the projection plane in terms of the projected size of different elements on a surface, it is shown how the direction of the perpendicular, from the station point to the surface, is an important variable in the derivation of the slant angle. It is also shown that the test surfaces used in traditional slan...

The correct answer, of course, is that they weigh the same amount. We investigated whether the naive answer to the riddle might have a basis in perception. When blindfolded participants ...
