Tiling puzzles

Three-dimensional edge-matching puzzle

A three-dimensional edge-matching puzzle is a type of edge-matching puzzle or tiling puzzle involving tiling a three-dimensional area with (typically regular) polygonal pieces whose edges are distinguished with colors or patterns, in such a way that the edges of adjacent pieces match. Edge-matching puzzles are known to be NP-complete, and capable of conversion to and from equivalent jigsaw puzzles and polyomino packing puzzle. Three-dimensional edge-matching puzzles are not currently under direct U.S. patent protection, since the 1892 patent by E. L. Thurston has expired. Current examples of commercial three-dimensional edge-matching puzzles include the , The Enigma, Mental Misery, and Kadon Enterprises' range of three-dimensional edge-matching puzzles. (Wikipedia).

The interesting sum of three angles problem!

Three squares are placed in a row. Connect the bottom left corner of each square to the top right corner of the third square, forming angles with measures a, b, c with the horizontal. What is the sum of a, b, and c? Many people requested this problem, and I thank Roberto O. and Cardist wh

What is the Third Angle Theorem of Triangles

👉 Learn about congruent triangles theorems. Two or more triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same shape and size. There are many methods to determine whether two triangles are congruent. Some of the methods include: (1) The HL (Hypothenuse Leg) theorem:- The hypothenuse le
