Nope. It's truely bigger (in fact, exactly 6 times).

The shadows go the opposite direction to the visible light source??
Nice pic btw :)

Nope. There are two light sources, and nothing special is related to them.

No offence meant and intended: I stupidly forgot the :) in my reply.
When I look at the left vertical vertices of the vertical stack of cubes
I get the impression that there is a lack of AA, as if these cubes have
been cut out and pasted. That made me make my offensive remark...
But I suppose there are other reasons for this to happen :))))

You have used an orthogonal camera?

If I draw a triangle called A aroud the "impossible triangle" and I
rotate a copy of this triangle, called B, 120 degrees, B nearly
perfectly overlaps A. This can only be so if you use an orthogonal
camera, right?

If you call the four "vertical" cubes for the sake of argument from top
to bottom a, b, c, and d, then c throws a shadow onto d, but a does not
onto b and b does not onto c. This is unreal, so here must lie the
sulution. I still don't see it, however. Clever!

You are getting closer.

I just applied no_shadow to some of the cubes to avoid annoying shadows.

From what I remember of this triangle, it's the angle that it's viewed
at that produces the illusion. I suspect that if you change the camera angle
on this image, you would have an entirely different view of it, ie,
something like two upright bars at opposing 45 degree(?) angles, at the end
of a horizontal bar at the base?
Close Warp? It's doing my head in! ;)
Great image though.
