Pretend you have a rubber stamp that says "PAID". Strip the rubber part
off of it and glue it to a rolling pin. Ink the stamp and roll it onto a
*** of paper. The image is now slightly elongated because it is
stretched across the roller so you have to make a new stamp to fix the
problem. How much should the image on the new stamp be compressed to
compensate for the distortion?
