Description

"The Tangram is one of the most ancient puzzles in the world, focused on deciphering silhouettes composed with the seven pieces. This book presents a collection of totally different types of puzzles. The puzzles we present here use the pieces as building blocks only, and present many versatile challenges, from all types of recreational mathematics fields. For example, here you will find symmetry puzzles, cover-up puzzles and even a Poker-related puzzle. In several puzzles we will use not all seven pieces but a subset of them, and there are also puzzles for which you will need to join all pieces from two Tangram sets. From the moment we changed the rules (using the seven pieces to decipher silhouettes) we felt that the sky is the limit! There is something magical and enchanting in those seven pieces that enabled us to find many puzzles and challenges! Almost all the puzzles presented are new, unique and original. Some are based on classic puzzles, as well as more modern ones, modified and presented with using the set of Tangram pieces"--
