Is it mirror symmetry or just such that a line separates it into two congruent pieces? Thanks,<br />Ben Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979104056063071221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-1445315593711837002018-04-05T19:42:57.607+01:002018-04-05T19:42:57.607+01:00I struggled for about 2 hr. with no luck, but my s...I struggled for about 2 hr. with no luck, but my son Steven of 25 years came back to me with the correct solution in 30 min. I am very proud of him because I am normally very good of solving puzzle.

Great puzzle to give out for others to play with!

After not solving it initally, I put it away for some time. Then in a discussion with a puzzle friend via mail I tried to solve it again and got nowhere. <br /><br />I thought about "both pieces flat on the table" and with some free interpretation, I found the "solution" from your picture above. Of course Tomas confirmed that this is not the solution.<br /><br />One early morning after that, still half asleep, I found a nice symmetrical solution and it did not look like anything I had expected before. Maybe that is the state of mind you need for solving puzzles? :)Goetzhttp://puzzles.schwandtner.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-2476043508351092702012-12-01T10:58:03.902+00:002012-12-01T10:58:03.902+00:00It's not a packing puzzle!

(Which I still haven't solved) <br /><br />Since that initial fluke, I've not managed this one again. Another puzzle for testing time I think.
