Dissection puzzle

A dissection puzzle, also called a transformation puzzle or Richter Puzzle, is a tiling puzzle where a set of pieces can be assembled in different ways to produce two or more distinct geometric shapes. The creation of new dissection puzzles is also considered to be a type of dissection puzzle. Puzzles may include various restraints, such as hinged pieces, pieces that can fold, or pieces that can twist. Creators of new dissection puzzles emphasize using a minimum number of pieces, or creating novel situations, such as ensuring that every piece connects to another with a hinge. (Wikipedia).

Scott Kim - Motley Dissections - G4G13 April 2018

This talk discusses motley dissections — polygons cut into polygons and polyhedra cut into polyhedra such that no two pieces every completely share an edge or a face. The most famous motley dissection is the squared square. My contribution extends this to triangled triangles, pentagoned pe

A rep-tile is a polygon that can be dissected into smaller copies (of the same size) of the original polygon. A polyomino is a polygon that is formed by joining one or more unit squares edge to edge. These two notions were first introduced and investigated by Solomon W. Golomb in the 1950s
