| Oct 16, 2021 at 14:46 | comment | added | Magma | Is it required that the two rectangles are initially touching as above and may not move during assembly? | |
| Oct 14, 2021 at 4:52 | comment | added | Anon | @loopywalt I agree; I just couldn't be bothered calculating the precise limits on x and y, so I said that to guarantee the pieces wouldn't overlap... I've now made the answer more exact | |
| Oct 14, 2021 at 4:37 | comment | added | loopy walt | @Anon, well done and glad you enjoyed the puzzle. Just one little thing: There is no need to make theta close to 90°. The construction works for any theta between 60° and 90° excluding the limits themselves. The best for physical stability would be something well in the middle. | |
| Oct 14, 2021 at 4:23 | comment | added | Anon | Nice puzzle! I was so convinced it could not be done that I thought I'd almost completed a proof of impossibility, then realized a loophole in it and saw the solution suddenly. Fortunately, the proof could be tweaked to the proof of impossibility for any fewer pieces as found in my updated answer. This was certainly a good puzzle, and the answer is very mathematically pleasing! | |
