Before I start- I don't know the answer for this one and I don't know if there is any, though I believe there is.

Anyway, the question is: "is it possible to slice the shape on the image into 4 identical shapes such that each shape will include one blue square and one red square?"

Thanks in advance.

OK I've solved it. It is possible!!

Do you want me to post the solution?

Slice off the outer rows.

Put top & bottom rows together until two center rows remain. Then you have 4 sections contain one red & one blue square.

Well, I kinda see your point. However, the idea is not to change the position of the red and blue squares.

And the solution is:

It is actually much easier than I've imagined. The downloadable image below shows the solution. For the sake of convenience I changed the red squares with the letter R and the blue ones with B and colored the shapes...

Ok, I'll take that as a "yes". That is cheating!
