Tackling False Maps
Our poor house! Even though the slash marks are still
in the two lines making up the roof, they don’t look even.
To combat the False Map, change the first step of our
approach:
Step 1: Redraw the figure as accurately as possible.
On your new figure, combine all the information from the
diagram and the stem into the single picture. You need to stop looking
at a figure that is deliberately false, since this false image can
impede your ability to answer the item.
On the distorted diagram, the length of CD (7)
is shorter than AB (5). Your new diagram should
correct that, and it should also make AB and BC equal
in length.
After redrawing the picture, proceed with the item using
the usual Treasure Map steps 2, 3, and 4.
