The number of squares stay the same but the sizes do not, when three are removed they are much sloppier in the frame than when the three pieces are in the puzzle.
 
Holleyman,



Fair enough explanation, but answer me this; but before you do, count the # of squares inside the frame at 0:27, and then count the #s again inside and outside the frame at 1:52.



Where did the three extra squares come from?



I ask because both times mentioned above there are 7 x 9 (or 63) squares inside the frame, and later on an additional three squares outside.

TJR, it's the angles of the cuts, and the slop coming out. The cuts are not parallel to each other throughout, leading to the "squares" not being truly full "squares" throughout.



Look, for example, at 2:34. Look at the fourth and fifth rows from the bottom. Does that row of squares look complete, or normal? No.



Note the video cut at :36. I can assure you, he does NOT place the pieces down on the mat in the same orientation as they came out of the box. In fact, I'm pretty certain they're not even the same pieces. Same goes for the video cut at 2:21. Look at :49, when he first assembles the pieces outside of the box, how the diagonal line through the middle of the pieces is so sloppy, and how some of the horizontal lines don't line up at all? Not coincidence. Even as he does his sliding, the lines still continue to not line up. It's those irregularities that result in the "extra" pieces.
