During the switch all 12 of the figures lose a part of their body, which gets summed up into the 13th person. The way this is done is that each of them because a tad bit shorter. Look at the guy all the way in the bottom left. During the switch his hair gets taken away, but he gets nothing for it. That hair then becomes the hair and forehead of the guy on the right, who had lost an entire upper section of his head. Through this process each figure loses a bigger amount than he gains. If you were to follow the "bodypart-chain" the last guy doesn't get anything for giving away a section of his shoes. Whoever drew this was some kind of genius. The solution is simple.

The best way to simply explain this so it can be understood is:

1) Two characters out of 12 don’t get any body parts from others but are giving away two very slight parts of a “top” and a “bottom”

2) At the end, it gives us two “almost complete” characters plus 11 tops and bottoms that get reassambled, giving a final total of 11 “reassambled” characters plus 2 “almost complete” (but not absolutely complete) characters, for a total of 13 identifiable characters.

Here's why it works. The man on the far left has hair on top in the 12-man arrangement, but after the switch is made, the men are lined up so that he doesn't get a matching top piece (his hair is gone), and the matching piece on the top is the 6th man from the left in the 13-man arrangement (who makes up the extra man). All the other men have matching pieces on the top and bottom except the far left man and the 6th man from the left (when there are 13 men). Do you see that? Now think of it this way, if you take the 12-man arrangement and cut one of the men in two pieces, and if you consider those two pieces to be full men, there will be 13 men! That is the real trick to it, they have broken the man on the far left into two pieces, but instead of his top matching piece being HAIR, it is another nearly-complete MAN, so it APPEARS to be 13 complete men, when it is actually 11 COMPLETE men and two PARTIAL men (11 + 2 = 13).
