To be fair, the large square can not be cleanly divided by the smaller square(s). Seems obvious to most people, but I didn’t get it at first.

In other words: The size relation of the squares makes this weird solution the most efficient (yet discovered).

Edit: nvm, I am just an idiot.

You can’t. Eh, it could be a lot worse. The best you can do is just accept it.

This is a german thing, but “Camp David” shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you’ll ever meet.

Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?

I am convinced most people aren’t religious, or at least agnostic. If they truly were they’d not be living like they are and wouldn’t give a shit about anything but their holy book. I call it being alibi-religious.

I might be missing something, but they could just mass validate 100 IDs in person, without logging anything, then mix/shuffle 100 “person is an adult” codes (or even multiple per person) that aren’t directly connected to anyone and hand these out at random.

This way neither the government, nor the website knows your real ID and your age can still be verified.

Edit: Sure you can still somewhat be tracked by these codes, but this may be mitigated by handing out new or multiple codes and having them expire.
