npub15wp53f6vfvr88zwg8jep4evdpjwl6exxpzfd7uwgxp2rxszcgdts993a95 (npub15wp…3a95) npub1cn9fsandgc6nfkdq8sqr9szh0x5djdce3pkgy8f6enxqnxwzx8ssax9nha (npub1cn9…9nha) Best explained with a picture, but can't do that now, so here's a description.
Take a square, mark the centre, cut out the triangle between the centre and the bottom edge. Glue that onto the right hand side to get an irregular hexagon that I think is vaguely an abstract cow.
Got that?
So the resulting shape, the cow, has a classical two piece dissection where the pieces can be assembled into a square. After all, that's how the cow was constructed.
So ...
Find a *different* two piece classical dissection of the cow where the pieces can be assembled into the square.
Do not give it away !!!
DM me if (or when!) you get a solution.
