Good morning all
(Not a tool question, but a project question)
There's an old type of puzzle box, in which you have a box.
In the box are multiple layers of pieces in a variety of shapes
which fill entire box.
The puzzle is this:
You can take out all the pieces, and refill the box
with the pieces (in a different arrangement) in such a way
that when box is completely refilled there is a piece left over[*].
Can anyone point to a webpage that contains a picture, description
and/or plans for this sort of puzzle?
(I've been trying to google this but, alas, I don't seem to be able to ask
exactly the correct question.)
Thanks,
Nichael
[* BTW, I know the solution here. And those who know the solution
will realize that I've been slightly dishonest in my description. But
I didn't want to give away the secret in case someone didn't know it.]
